Launchgarage

Launchgarage is a tech innovation hub in Manila that provides a venue for open collaboration, knowledge sharing, events, acceleration.

Started in 2012 as a startup acceleration program by local early stage investment player Kickstart, and local applications engineering firm Proudcloud, Launchgarage produced a total of 8 graduates from its program, most of whom have gone on to raise succeeding rounds of investments and are in their various phases of growth.

After a failed call for a third batch of candidates, the need to significantly improve the innovation dna from which local startups were being born had become apparent. With this in mind, Launchgarage has evolved from the Kickstart + Proudcloud partnership into a space centric initiative that promotes an open co-working environment, critical making, and the spirit of collaboration as it strives to produce truly innovative ventures with meaningful impact.
