This year Hangout mentors have generously offered to provide the application fee to the SXSW Pitch competition for the most promising startup proposal received from the ASEAN before the September 13th deadline. Previously, two ASEAN startups have made it to the main stage (to be held in Austin, Texas in March 2027) with the help of our organization and we are looking forward to see a third do the same. Whether you make it to the main stage or not, attempting a startup is one of the best ways to open up your future possibilities. Start with thinking about how to solve a problem which most people see as a pain point.
