Hong Kong's Tech Startup Community
Come to #SUMHK on Monday to find out. Mike Haskamp and his partner, founded Legend Fighting Championship (Legend), Hong Kong's first professional mixed martial arts competition in July 2009. After two and a half years, Legend has held 8 events across Hong Kong, Macau and this past weekend in Jakarta Indonesia. Initially, their revenues came from ticket sales. Today, it's a combination of television licensing, sponsorships, ad sales and ticket sales.
The meeting will be held at BootHK, 19/f, 231 Queen's Road East at 7:30pm.
This upcoming #SUMHK is going to land on #4sqDay so we have decided to have #SUMHK at the Drop Lounge in Central where we all can celebrate #4sqDay in style!
Not only will there be free shots for all people who checkin (via whatever medium you like, not just Foursquare, and you may be getting a surprise if you checkin via Openbar) and happy hour that last for 3 hours (from 7pm-10pm), a masseuse will be there as well to give you a MASSAGE, thanks to Xishi, a Hong Kong startup that pioneered premium mobile massage service online! We'll see if we can incorporate massage to future SUMHK, hehe, we wish!
Besides short pitches by Openbar and Xishi, we will be giving away Foursquare swags as well! We look forward to chilling with all of you this coming Monday!
