About us
Bangkok Founders & Investors brings together ambitious founders, experienced entrepreneurs, angel investors, venture capital professionals, and business leaders who are actively building, investing, and creating new opportunities.
The purpose of the group is simple: put the right people in the same room.
We focus on meaningful, high-quality connections rather than large, anonymous networking events. Members can expect curated founder–investor gatherings, private networking evenings, startup discussions, pitch opportunities, fireside conversations, and smaller events designed to make real introductions possible.
This community is particularly suited to:
Founders building or scaling serious businesses
Entrepreneurs preparing to raise capital
Angel investors and venture capital professionals
Experienced operators, executives, and advisors
People actively involved in Bangkok and Southeast Asia's startup ecosystem
We value thoughtful conversations, credible projects, useful introductions, and long-term relationships.
There is no requirement to be fundraising or investing at every event. Sometimes the most valuable connection happens months before a deal, partnership, or company even exists.
No endless pitching. No business-card collecting contests. Just founders, investors, and experienced people worth meeting.
Build relationships before you need them.

First Networking Night - Oct 27, 2026
Bangkok, Bangkok, Thailand, TH## 🎉 Nearly 150 RSVPs! Important Event Update
📅 NEW DATE: Tuesday, October 27, 2026 — 7:00 PM
Our very first Bangkok Founders & Investors gathering has attracted nearly 150 RSVPs, far beyond what we originally anticipated!
After consulting with the venue management, we've determined that our original location is no longer suitable for a gathering of this size.
It's a great problem to have!
To ensure everyone has a comfortable and enjoyable experience, we're postponing the event by two weeks while we secure a larger private venue in Central Bangkok.### 🎟️ Important: Attendance Confirmation — 500 THB
We originally planned to make our first gathering completely free. However, with such strong interest and the additional costs of securing a private venue, we've made the difficult decision to introduce a 500 THB attendance fee.
This also helps us distinguish confirmed attendees from RSVPs so we can reserve the appropriate room size and prepare accordingly.To confirm your attendance:
- Visit https://cityofhats.com/meetup/
- Pay 500 THB using the PromptPay QR code displayed on the website.
- Already paid? No further action is required.
Thank you for your understanding and support. We sincerely apologize for the second postponement, but we'd rather get our first gathering right than compromise the experience.
