FyrLab

FyrLab Built for early-stage, growth-driven startups in Western Visayas.

We interface founders with mentors comprising professionals and entrepreneurs, and with potential funders and business partners. We are a startup enabler that complements local incubation initiatives and contributes to private sector efforts in building the regional startup ecosystem.

- cohort-based intensive seminars
- mentoring by entrepreneurs & professionals
- networking & business-matching

What are we looking for?

* early-stage startups based in Western Visayas
* with growth-driven founders running
* teams eager to expand their knowledge and network

What will startups get?

* connection with seasoned founders who can give advice on what works and what doesn’t
* contact with professionals who can provide assistance to areas of their venture they need help with
* exposure to the business sector where they can find potential partners or funders
* stronger and meaningful presence in the startup ecosystem and founders’ community

By the end of their term in the cohort, our founders can:

* let go of the fear of scaling up/expansion with professional and experience-driven knowledge and guided learning from the mentors
* get confident in managing their startup using practical concepts that they can directly apply to their business right after the cohort
* defeat self-doubt and push the envelope in seeking funding and growth opportunities for their startup
* feel a sense of belongingness with a community of founders and enablers who understand their challenges and celebrate their victories

With innovation infrastructure being an important piece of a stronger startup ecosystem, we’re looking forward to hearing the perspective of young builders who are already thinking about what these spaces could look like.

This September 1, we will listen to Kurt Carolino and his team talk about their award-winning thesis, "AXON: Hedonistic Sustainability Design for Iloilo Startup Innovation Hub," and their ideas for developing innovation spaces in Iloilo.

Join the conversation! RSVP here: https://luma.com/o7686hli

Why do formal commitments matter? 

They provide the stability, accountability, and long-term resources necessary for startups to survive the valley of death and thrive. Collaboration has always been at the heart of the Ilonggo spirit, but to truly compete on a global stage, we must move from informal support to formal commitment. Youth First Initiative Philippines Inc., through FyrLab, is bridging the gap between good intentions and structured partnerships.

Something big is brewing in the heart of the city. We are hard at work behind the scenes as the Iloilo City Innovation Hub (iHub) undergoes its preparation to become the new physical home for the Western Visayas startup ecosystem.

The vision is to create a vibrant learning node designed to help you inspire, interact, ideate, and initiate. We are breaking down silos and moving away from temporary venues to give our founders, researchers, and investors a permanent place to converge.

Coming soon to Iloilo City, every corner of the iHub is being built to bridge the gap between a great idea and investor-readiness. This is the future launchpad for the Startup Iloilo movement, and we cannot wait to welcome you home.

Stay tuned for more updates as we prepare to open our doors. The future of innovation in Western Visayas starts here.

Today marked a significant milestone for our local innovation landscape as we concluded the Innovate Iloilo Champions' Meeting. As a startup support program funded by DOST Western Visayas, we are committed to empowering local founders and building the start ecosystem, FyrLab was truly honored to participate in these critical discussions.

Convened by Youth First Initiative Philippines, Inc., the event gathered leaders and stakeholders from various sectors across seven key pillars to align our collective strategies. We are leaving the workshop with a clear and measurable blueprint designed to help transform Iloilo into a premier innovation ecosystem by 2030.

The collaborative spirit in the room was exceptional, and we are deeply grateful for the opportunity to contribute to this shared vision. We look forward to executing our plans and carrying this momentum forward to build a stronger and more vibrant community for everyone.
