THE ANCHOR EXPERIENCE

WHAT IS IT

Anchor Taiwan created a new model for Asia soft-landing.

3 times a year we curate a 1-month entrepreneurial residency program in Taiwan for professionals from around the world.

These participants come to Taiwan to accelerate growth for their ventures or ideas. We work intensively with them to maximize their connections, knowledge and exposure. Each program is tailored, with a small batch of highly selected members. We take care of the logistics (accommodation & co-working space) so our members can focus on what matters.

Since 2017, we’ve run 7 cohorts with world-class professionals that met their partners, received our investment, hired talent, joined a team or set up entities here. On the ad hoc basis, we also design shorter programs for high-level business executives with strategic alignment.

We are people first and ecosystem driven. Welcome to the Anchor community.

IMMEDIATE CONNECTIONS

I am very impressed with Anchor Taiwan. It gives a unique chance to immediately connect to the industry.

GAME CHANGER THAT OPENED MANY DOORS

Anchor Taiwan has been a game-changer for me that I didn’t even know I was looking for. It opened many doors for me in a very short period of time – including a personal invitation to become a startup mentor for one of the world’s top accelerators. I am forever grateful, and hope others will also see this program as a relationship-building catalyst for their careers.

STARTUP SCENE & KEY PEOPLE

In the end I have accomplished my goals of familiarizing with the Taiwanese startup scene, connecting with the key people there, and knowing what it’s like living in Taiwan beyond being a tourist. I highly recommend Anchor Taiwan to anyone contemplating doing business in Taiwan or in the rest of East/Southeast Asia from Taiwan.
