There are formal / non-formal software developers group in Cebu (Philippines). But as to 'active' software start-up community, we can say that it is almost non-existent. I'll call it 'software start-up' because some people would say that technology involves more scientific research and all the hoopla.
Last week, there was a 'start-up meetup' which was facilitated by Tina Amper and others. Alvin Gendrano, Director for SQL Server Business Management at Microsoft, was then the guest speaker. Then, this week there was a repeat meet-up, then this time it's Brian Tan Seng of 98Labs was the guest speaker. I was not there, but some friends were. One of them gave me the above video.
I have nothing much to say since I was not there, but this is just to give us an idea that start-up community in Cebu will be activated -- maybe soon or in years.
You might say you're not techy so why get involved. When we say start-up community, it involves more than the tech / developer people -- marketing, idea people, and other sorts of personalities are needed from idea brainstorming to getting a product out to the world. So, yes, it is something we should be watching out, and get involve with even if as an audience. =)
