PASAY CITY — TCS Founders Arena returned to Philippine Blockchain Week for the second consecutive year, showcasing AI-powered system platforms designed to help investors identify startups that best match their funding profiles.

The event was held on June 20, 2026 at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay, Manila. It was hosted by Mark Comandante, founder of ExoAsia Innovation Hub, and Richard Stangland, Investor Relations lead of BitAngels.

TCS Founders Arena presented its flagship platform, MATCHES. The system uses 50 data parameters to provide guidance to investors on which startups best suit their investment criteria. According to the team, MATCHES will operate throughout the year, offering continuous support beyond the week-long event.

During the presentation, TCS Founders Arena also unveiled the “Venture Confidence Report,” a companion tool designed to work alongside MATCHES. The report aims to assess the stability and growth potential of startups, giving investors added confidence in their decisions.

The rest of the program featured Question and Answer (Q and A) sessions with guests and judges, who discussed how artificial intelligence is evolving the startup ecosystem.

Panelists also shared insights on how AI can raise the level of confidence and stability for early-stage ventures seeking funding.

Ultimately, the goal is to evolve how funding decisions are made by using data + AI, so startups get matched with the right backers and investors fund with more confidence.
