Ideaspace | QBO Team celebrating 13 years of innovation, entrepreneurship, and leadership.

Since its founding in 2012, IdeaSpace has played a key role in the Philippine startup ecosystem—empowering founders, investing in game-changing ideas, and fostering a culture of innovation.

What started as a nonprofit initiative has grown into a leading startup accelerator and early-stage venture fund in the country.

A Mission to Support Filipino Founders

Ideaspace was built with a clear vision: to support Filipino entrepreneurs in building scalable, high-growth startups that drive economic and social impact.

Recognizing the challenges faced by early-stage startups—limited access to capital, mentorship, and markets—Ideaspace launched its programs to bridge these gaps.
