Networking Is Everywhere — Follow-Through Is Not
REALIZER × One Tree Hill Ventures MOU Announcement
Across startup ecosystems, especially in fast-moving markets like Korea and Southeast Asia, one pattern repeats itself.
Networking is active. Connections are made. Business cards are exchanged.
Yet what comes after too often falls apart.
Despite countless meetings at conferences, demo days, and community events, meaningful follow-through and structured continuation frequently slip through the cracks. Not because founders lack intent, but because there is little infrastructure to help turn connections into progress.
This is a challenge that One Tree Hill Ventures, a Singapore-based venture studio and accelerator, sees clearly from the front lines.
With a shared understanding of this gap, REALIZER and One Tree Hill Ventures have signed an MOU to support founders in strengthening their business development efforts through technology and AI.
Why One Tree Hill Ventures
One Tree Hill Ventures is not focused on networking volume alone. The team, led by smart and deeply passionate founders, works closely with startups to help them move from introductions to execution.
Their perspective is simple but powerful: What matters is not how many people you meet, but what happens after the meeting.
That clarity is what brought us together.
Both teams believe that follow-through should not rely on memory, spreadsheets, or chance. It should be structured, intentional, and aligned with a real opportunity.
What This Partnership Enables
Through this collaboration, REALIZER will support founders in One Tree Hill Ventures’ programs by enabling them to:
- Consolidate leads and relationship data in one place
- Intelligently assess opportunities
- Prioritize follow-ups based on real potential, not guesswork
By applying AI where it truly adds value, founders can focus less on managing information and more on building momentum.
This partnership is not about digitizing business cards. It’s about turning connections into ongoing conversations and measurable progress.
Solving the Problem One Step at a Time
As One Tree Hill Ventures often emphasizes, this is not a problem solved overnight. But with the right mindset, tools, and partners, the structure around business development can evolve.
REALIZER looks forward to working closely with One Tree Hill Ventures and the founders they support, helping ensure that great meetings don’t end at “nice to meet you.”
We’re grateful for the collaboration and for the continued support from Draper Startup House as we build this together.
