From Findit to Taiwan’s Crunchbase: How the 2025 Winter Matchmaking Conference Showcases Taiwan’s Startup Power
🧭 Findit: Taiwan’s Official Startup Database
For global readers following Taiwan’s innovation scene, Findit is becoming increasingly important. It’s not just a government-backed startup database — it’s also emerging as Taiwan’s version of Crunchbase, connecting startups, investors, and corporations through verified and structured data.
Beyond being a directory, Findit plays a deeper role: it builds connections. Through seasonal matchmaking events like this one, founders, VCs, and corporates meet face-to-face to explore funding, partnerships, and real-world collaboration.
In short, Findit represents the convergence of data × ecosystem × action — a model that’s essential for Taiwan’s startups to engage with the global innovation network.

The venue was filled with energy — a mix of early-stage founders, investors, and ecosystem builders — all gathered to exchange ideas and create opportunities across diverse sectors: AI, MedTech, AR/VR, IoT, and smart manufacturing.
This wasn’t just a local networking event; it was Taiwan’s startup ecosystem presenting itself to the world.
