Our Student Founders
Andrew Fong
CEO – MiniEpi
Textbook Ventures were pivotal in our growth in the early stages of our startup. They pushed and encouraged us and set reasonable milestones dramatically accelerating our progress. They worked with us to build on our pitching and presentation ability and find necessary gaps and questions that we had previously overlooked. We still continue to work in the Textbook Ventures portfolio, and trust in their advice and ability to assist in the further development of our company.
Tom Terado
Community Manager – Bitfwd
During my initial university years, I was always interested in entrepreneurship and startups but there was never an true outlet to learn about the space. Textbook Ventures offers what I was looking for. They have a really inviting and warm culture and community. It’s a great place to connect, learn and grow with student entrepreneurs. Their events and initiatives are something I really look forward to.
Daphne Shen
CTO and Co-Founder – V-KAIWA
During the pre-accelerator program, Textbook Ventures gave us that extra push for us to achieve our goals. Their relentless support was crucial when V-KAIWA were having doubts or problems with our milestones.
