About Us

About Us
917Ventures is Globe’s corporate venture builder that ideates, launches, accelerates, and scales new business ideas that have the potential to grow.
We act like a startup factory and have teams, frameworks, infrastructures, and strategies already in place, proven, tested, and backed by Globe, Ayala, and other partner networks, to accelerate the growth of ventures.
We create solutions that can deliver indelible value to the Philippines and the APAC region, leveraging on the rich asset base of Globe, the largest telecommunications company in the Philippines.
Although 917Ventures is wholly owned by Globe, we are a separate, independent legal entity with our own ways of working. We put a genuine start-up mindset along with best business-building practices in place. It’s the start-up like without the start-up chaos, with the advantage of the core assets of Globe.

Mission
We seek to solve the pain points of consumers and businesses through digital solutions in the Philippines and beyond.
Vision
We aim to build a digital nation that is loved and admired through our digital solutions & ventures.
