Since 2016, Dragons’ Chamber has given foreign entrepreneurs in Taiwan a platform to gain exposure and valuable feedback on their businesses. Now we want to look at the other side of the equation and show how people can become angel investors. Investing in startups is a risky but potentially rewarding endeavor. Please come and learn from experienced investors about why and how to do angel investments. If you have a few hundred thousand NTD that you could possibly, under the right circumstances, consider investing in a worthy startup you believe in, please come and learn how that would work.
If you are a more experienced investor and want to come and meet other investors, please do not hesitate to sign up as well!
Co-organized by MUSA Trademark, Enspyre and CCCT Small Business Committee.

About Dragons’ Chamber
Dragons’ Chamber is a pitch event for foreign entrepreneurs co-organized by the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, MUSA Trademark and Enspyre.
Applications for the program will open in July, first auditions will take place in September and the finals will be held during the Meet Taipei Startup Conference in November.

Foreign Investors Investing With Foreign Entrepreneurs
We have a special place in our hearts for foreigners investing with foreigners. Around the world, we have seen how immigrant communities are pooling their money and investing with themselves in a rising tide lifts all boats mentality. This does not happen as much in Taiwan and we hope to change that. If you are a foreign resident in Taiwan with a successful career or business, please consider to attend this event and learn how and why you should become an angel investor. Let’s work together!
