Bangkok Startup Association (BSA) invites startups, investors, and interested individuals to join the highly anticipated event ‘Capital in Chaos – How Founders & Investors Navigate Uncertain Markets.’ This Event brings together experts from the startup and investment ecosystem to collaboratively discuss fundraising trends in an era of global economic volatility, amid pressures from key factors such as geopolitical tensions, rising interest rates, and tighter capital markets, all of which have significantly influenced investor behavior and decision-making criteria.
This event aims to exhibit an overview of the capital market in a new context, while offering perspectives on how entrepreneurs can adapt to changing environments. Participants will gain in‑depth perspective on fundraising strategies in volatile markets, approaches for startups to prepare and enhance access to funding, and methods to capture investor interest. These insights will be delivered through firsthand experiences shared by leading experts in the Southeast Asian startup and investment ecosystem.
Highlighted key speakers
- Gagan Ajmani, CEO of WOWS Global, a global platform connecting investors with entrepreneurs, and former CFO of Deliveree, a logistics startup
- Abhi Agarwal, CEO of Living Roots, a business focused on environmental sustainability
Both speakers will share perspectives on what is happening inside the minds of investors during volatile markets, as well as strategies that startups can adopt to improve access to funding and enhance competitiveness in rapidly changing environments. The session will be moderated by Alex Avanth – advisor, investor, and General Partner at MoreFutures Southeast Asia – who will facilitate an in-depth dialogue between founders and investors.
This event is ideal for entrepreneurs, investors, and those interested in the startup ecosystem who seek a deeper understanding of capital market shifts, along with opportunities to network closely with key industry players.
The event is scheduled for Thursday, May 7, 2026, from 6:00 PM to 11:00 PM at The Great Room, Gaysorn Tower, Bangkok. Tickets, which include two drinks and light snacks, are available at a special starting price of 450 THB.
