From February 2 – 3, EV Hive at Clapham was buzzing with young entrepreneurs, students, and investors alike attending the third annual Clapham Startup Fest. Clapham StartupFest is an annual event that aims to bring together the startup community of Medan through two jam-packed days of workshops, panels, and networking. Founders did quick pitches at the expert speed-dating sessions to representatives from investor groups like ANGIN and East Ventures, while others sat in on specialized workshops such as copywriting for social media and legal considerations for startups. Attendees were able to attend a variety of panels and talks ranging from an all-female panel speaking on the unique challenges faced in the workplace to Go-Jek’s Crystal Widjaja speaking on using analytics to manage growth to a personal fireside chat with Kevin Darmawan of Coffee Ventures.
