Hong Kong Startup Mentor Programs
After a slow start, Hong Kong’s startup scene is making some noise. The city’s funding activity grew 11 times from 2012 to 2016 according to the Startup Genome Report (2018). With a strong world banking presence, it’s no surprise that the city hosts over 200 Fintech companies. With the governments support, top available talent, and top financial institutions, it’s a great time to be a Founder in Hong Kong.
As Hong Kong grows out of Silicon Valley’s shadow, Founders Network is connecting its local Founders with a global network. Based in San Francisco, Founders Network takes advantage of its local resources while opening them up to its Founder members. Founders Network is a mentorship program that is building peer-to-peer relationships with Founders across the globe.

I’m a very technical person. Not big on the business side of things. Thanks to Founders Network, I’ve received valuable, actionable business advice from both founders and investors alike.
I would say it’s a very reasonable cost to tap into a worldwide network of entrepreneurs who, as a group, have gone through just about everything you can imagine and have a world of experience they can offer to you.
We have some amazing members. With over 600 tech founders, 100 events a year, 90% Monthly Active Users (MAU), there’s no other network as experienced and helpful.
