The Dynamite Circle brings together location-independent founders for the upcoming Manila October 15 Junto, a focused gathering designed for entrepreneurs operating in the region. Set against the vibrant backdrop of Manila, Philippines, this event offers a valuable opportunity to connect with peers and discuss the realities of running a business abroad.
This edition features a balanced room of professionals, with attendees split evenly between the real estate and investing sector and the SaaS and tech industry. This diverse mix of expertise ensures engaging conversations, cross-industry insights, and practical problem-solving among founders who understand the unique challenges of building and scaling remote businesses.
What makes this gathering special is the intimate, discussion-driven format characteristic of a traditional junto.
