Aspire Announces Return of Founders Night, Singapore’s Largest Event for Startup Founders

Back this September with a bold new theme — The Champions Arena — and over 200 founders, investors, and ecosystem leaders.

SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire – 5 August 2025 – Aspire, leading all in one finance platform for modern businesses, today announced the return of Founders Night, its annual flagship event and Singapore’s largest gathering for startup founders.

Happening on September 4, 2025, the invite-only event will bring together over 200+ funded founders, investors, and ecosystem leaders.

This year’s theme, The Champions Arena, draws inspiration from elite athletes — a nod to the stamina, resilience, and sharp execution required to build something from scratch. Held in central Singapore, the experience is designed to take founders out of the boardroom and into an arena of connection, storytelling, and recognition.

Visa joins this year as the event’s platinum sponsor, underscoring its shared mission to back the next generation of business leaders. In previous years, Founders Night has been proudly supported by leading ecosystem partners including Amazon Web Services, Remote, Carta, Singapore Global Network and many more.

“Founders Night was born as a tribute to the builders behind the most innovative companies,” said Andrea Baronchelli, Co-founder and CEO of Aspire. “It’s not a typical networking event or a panel. It’s a moment for founders to come together, celebrate each other, and acknowledge the challenges and triumphs that come with building something from the ground up.”

The event is an extension of FoundersXchange, Aspire’s growing global community of 700+ startup founders. Through curated events, startup perks, and direct VC connections, FoundersXchange continues to support entrepreneurs from day one through scale. Founders Night has grown to become a key fixture on the region’s startup calendar, known for its founder-first ethos, immersive themes, and high-calibre attendee base.
