MatchCAP Asia 2026 concludes with 350+ meetings across Southeast Asia’s top founders and investors
Singapore, May 2026 —
Endeavor concluded MatchCAP Asia 2026 with over 350 structured investor-founder meetings, two panel discussions, and a curated attendee list spanning the region’s highest-impact founders and leading venture investors. Held May 17-19 in Singapore across One&Co, Microsoft Singapore, and Airwallex Singapore, the event marks the latest edition of the largest investor-founder matchmaking roadshow in Southeast Asia.
350+ Structured Meetings Drive Meaningful Capital Connections
The centerpiece of MatchCAP Asia 2026 was its curated 1-on-1 matching program, which facilitated over 350 structured meetings of 60 minutes each between founders and investors. The matching process was designed to prioritize preparation and intent on both sides, a departure from the transactional, high-volume formats common at most industry events.
“I’ve been an Endeavor Entrepreneur since 2018, and the growth we’ve seen at Privy is 25x revenue and 74.8 million verified users, and none of that happens without the right network around you. We’re just getting started,” said Marshall Pribadi, Founder and CEO of Privy.
The event opened on the evening of May 17 with a networking reception at One&Co Singapore, before moving to a full day of programming at Microsoft Singapore’s offices on May 18, anchored by two panel discussions and the structured afternoon of 1-on-1 meetings. The event concluded on May 19 with a closing networking evening at Airwallex’s Singapore office.
Panels Centered on Durability and Global Ambition
The first panel, “Built to Last: Designing Startups for Uncertainty,” featured Nitin Mathur (Privy), Jun Hasegawa (Omise), and Henry Chan (ShopBack), moderated by Om Bhatia of Chubb APAC. The discussion drew on each founder’s firsthand experience navigating downturns and organizational inflection points, with a central argument that durability is a design choice, not a crisis response.
“What this room reminded me of is that durability isn’t accidental. At Privy, trust isn’t a feature, it’s the foundation. Resilience has to be built in from day one, not patched in when things go wrong,” said Nitin Mathur, Co-Founder of Privy.
The second panel, “Building a Global Company from Southeast Asia,” addressed the structural and narrative challenges facing regional founders seeking international scale. Investors Rohit Agarwal (Peak XV), Justin Hall (Golden Gate Ventures), and Kshitij Jayakrishnan (QED) joined Cecily Ng of Databricks in an unfiltered conversation about the real barriers, and real opportunities, of SEA-origin companies on the world stage.
