Bitcoin Asia is more than a conference-it’s a dynamic ecosystem where founders, VCs, developers, and institutional players gather. Among the sessions, keynotes, and expo booths, exclusive founder-investor roundtables stand out as high-leverage areas—you get small group access to decision makers, deeper feedback, and the chance to form relationships that don’t happen in large crowds.

How Bitcoin Asia Facilitates Deep Connections
Bitcoin Asia features not only mainstage talks but also Bitcoin Week and side events that set the tone for meaningful connections. These side events often include mixers, dinners, and VIP lounges that function naturally as roundtable settings. The agenda also contains specialized sessions, panels, and workshops where a smaller, curated group is expected. Organizers understand the value of cross-pollination between founders and investors, so some sessions are explicitly designed to invite investors into conversations that go beyond stage presentations.
Spotting Roundtables in the Agenda
To find exclusive roundtables, begin by scanning the agenda for labels like “Founders & Investors Roundtable,” “Investor Panel,” “Founder Workshop,” “VIP Sala,” or “Curated Connections.” These are often scheduled during Bitcoin Week (the days surrounding the main conference) or in early morning / late evening slots when main stage sessions are fewer. Sometimes, the expo-hall schedule or the sponsor descriptions mention “investor salons” or “private meetups.” Also pay attention to “Whale Pass” or other premium pass offerings—these often include access to curated roundtables.

Sponsor-Hosted & Investor Suite Events
Sponsors—especially those in venture arms, financial services, and infrastructure—often host invite-only or semi-private roundtables for founders and investors. These may take place in sponsor lounges or “investor suite” rooms adjacent to the main venue. If you identify sponsors relevant to your domain (wallets, layer-2, infrastructure, compliance, etc.), reach out to them ahead of the conference to ask whether they are organizing or facilitating any such roundtables. These tend to be less advertised but extremely high value.
Matchmaking Tools & Digital Platforms
Bitcoin Asia typically provides digital platforms or apps to register your interests, set up meetings, or signal your desire to join founder-investor discussions. These tools sometimes offer “matching” features, where founders and investors expressing similar sectors or problems are paired. Review your profile and interests early, indicate that you’re interested in roundtables, and monitor the platform for invitations or suggestions of curated sessions. This digital curation is often a portal into exclusive rounds.

Side Events & Unofficial Roundtables
Not all the most meaningful rounds are part of the official schedule. Informal dinners, meet-ups, coffee chats, barrier-free sessions in lounges, and after-hours events often host impromptu founder-investor roundtables. Many founders and investors use social channels (Telegram, Discord, or conference’s Slack/WhatsApp groups) to invite others to these gatherings. Keep your radar on these: follow community announcements, check the networking app or social media channels before and during Bitcoin Asia to learn about these unofficial gatherings.
How Founders Can Position Themselves to Be Included
If you are a founder hoping to be part of these roundtables, preparation matters. First, have a concise one-pager or summary ready that states who you are, what problem you’re solving, your traction, and your ask (funding, mentorship, partnership). Be clear about what input you want from investors. When applying (if there’s a process), reply promptly and professionally. Even for sponsor or investor suite events, sending a polite request with value (what you bring) helps. Showing domain focus and clarity helps you get invited.
How Investors Should Seek Them Out
Investors looking for roundtables should also be proactive. Look for “roundtable hosts” in sponsor or organizer lists, then reach out in advance expressing interest in participating as a speaker, mentor, or simply attendee. Often, early registrants get better access. Also consider hosting your own small roundtable or dinner—sometimes pairing with a sponsor or co-investor invites attendees. This not only builds your presence but also gives you control over curation and topic.

Timing & Logistics Tips
Roundtables often happen at off-peak times: early in the morning, during lunch breaks, or after official sessions end. Be flexible in your schedule so you can attend. Also pay attention to access requirements: some require “Whale Pass” or premium passes, others are by invitation. Arrive early, bring business cards (or digital contact info), and have something meaningful to contribute—questions, insights, or feedback. Those who stand out in roundtables are usually active, prepared, and engaged.
Conclusion
Founder-investor roundtables at Bitcoin Asia are among the most effective forums for meaningful conversations, relationship building, and discovering or vetting potential partners or ventures. To tap into them, you need to plan your agenda with intent, use digital tools, monitor sponsor offerings, stay alert for side events, and come prepared with value to offer.
