🧐 Ever tried Google-ing "How to start a startup in the Philippines?"

Chances are, most of the results you’ll find are about starting traditional brick-and-mortar businesses. While those are great, what about resources for starting a tech or innovative startup from scratch? We often talk about scaling, funding rounds, or pitching to investors, but what if you're just in the "I-have-an-idea-but-don't-know-where-to-start" phase?
