A Powerful Alliance: Bridging Startups and Venture Capital
WPORT × NTU TEC — we don't just help startups find talent, we connect you directly with NTU TEC to find resources!
Why We're Different
The two make-or-break challenges for startups: without the right people, the product can't move; without VC funding, the team can't survive.
We want 80% of startups to break free from the endless loop of "can't find the right people, can't find the money." WPORT for Startups uses AI technology and the NTU Garage ecosystem to solve both startup pain points at once. Since WPORT's core business is helping companies find the right people, we've decided to step forward and connect every promising startup in Taipei with NTU Garage and the VC resources behind it.
Deep 1:1 instead of rushed Demo Days
Most matching events are pitch competitions—20+ startups, 5–10 minutes each. NTU TEC × WPORT took the opposite path: 2–3 startups per session, 30–60 minutes of VC feedback each.
Competition-style Demo Day
- 15–30 startups per event
- 5–10 minutes on stage each
- Judges mostly observe and score
- Startups get exposure, but rarely feedback that can reshape the business model
Deep 1:1 diagnostics
- Only 2–3 curated startups per session
- 30–60 minutes of depth per team
- VCs unpack cap table, financials, and business model
- Teams leave with concrete next steps they can act on
Event Moments
Don't let startups pitch for five minutes,
ask VCs to unpack for one hour.
Feedback density
30–60 minutes of 1:1 VC time per team—far beyond the 5–10 minutes on a Demo Day stage.
Depth of topics
Cap table, unit economics, financial discipline, and moats—not generic market overviews. VCs will even tell you straight whether they would actually invest in your case.
Actionable outcomes
Concrete advice—ESOP reserves, customer-definition guardrails, capital increases—teams can execute immediately.
From a Single Event to an Entire Ecosystem
Steadily building the ecosystem
High-quality connections with fellow founders every time

糖尿病足智慧量測How the Collaboration Began
This is not a rushed proposal—three independent threads converged at the right moment.
Taoyuan Andong Base
While WPORT was based at the Taoyuan Andong hub, we joined offline VC meetups and got to know Howard of NTU TEC.
Natural fit: enterprises × venue
WPORT connects widely with enterprises and startup communities; NTU TEC needs quality deal flow. The match was immediate—intimate deep sessions followed.
Seeing local startup demand
Through long-term involvement in Taoyuan's local youth entrepreneurship community, the WPORT team saw local startups craving the same VC access—this proven model can keep expanding.
Frequently Asked Questions
Contact UsWPORT specializes in helping startups precisely recruit key talent, while NTU Garage has a top-tier ecosystem for startup incubation and capital matching. This alliance is built on a simple principle: "WPORT finds talent, NTU Garage finds startups." Through this program, startups on WPORT can not only build their core teams efficiently, but also connect directly with NTU Garage's VC (venture capital) resources — a one-stop solution to the two most critical growth-stage pain points: talent and capital.
We do not restrict by industry, but we place great value on teams whose product is already operating in the market (MVP) and shows validation potential. The basic requirements are: the company has obtained a unified business number, is registered on WPORT, and already has some initial revenue. Low revenue, or not yet breaking even, is fine — what matters is having a real product running online and a strong desire to scale up through external resources.
This program adopts a "high-frequency, small-group" deep-matching model. In principle it is held once every 1 to 1.5 months. To ensure the quality of exchange and matching, only 2-3 outstanding startup teams are carefully selected each time, personally guided by our team for the deepest resource exchange with NTU Garage.
Yes — when facing VCs, speaking the right "business language" is crucial. We have compiled the core evaluation items VCs consider most important (such as: unified business number, equity structure, ESOP employee stock option plan, patent portfolio, key metrics that can be validated within the next 6 months, and a potential exit plan showing how to reach NT$200 million in revenue within 1-3 years) into a VC Matching Guide Prompt (👉 click here). We strongly recommend teams use this Prompt to review and optimize their Pitch Deck before the exchange.
Institutional fundraising is a marathon — from first contact to closing a deal usually takes at least 6 months. The greatest advantage of this small-group format is that both sides have ample time to "speak frankly." VCs will directly point out where your business topic and model can be improved, which is invaluable for a startup adjusting its direction. More importantly, even if an institution doesn't invest right away, they may refer you to other institutions, startup competitions, or themed workshops; if you're an expert in your field, you may even be invited to speak. Showing up often in the startup community and demonstrating your ambition pays off—your first venture may not succeed, but by your second one, you'll already be a familiar face to many institutions. Here, what you gain is far more than capital: it's the industry reputation and long-term network that founders need most.
