Words From Our Members


“I was very impressed with the size and quality of the crowd who attended the Mixer, it was one that I don’t see often. I also really liked the location of A-Space. Prior to Iron Sharpens Iron our brands were fighting lack of exposure so it was powerful to serve one event and to have exposure to such a rich demographic in one night.” -Andrew Escaler, Managing Partner at Plaza Cafe

“I loved talking with people. It was unique in a sense that the event set up a Charity feel. It felt like I was there to meet and talk to people rather than push my agenda. Each person had a sense of professionalism and I learned a ton from the mixer. It went off without a hitch. I understood that there was an actual agenda, but for me… As long as the atmosphere is set and prime for conversation, then it's all good.” -Jon Okeya, Founder of Young at Heart Design Studio

Words From Our Members


“We enjoyed how the system and concepts of the event were displayed. The idea is very creative wherein all get the chance to know and to find what they are looking for. The mixer was a blast, we had so much fun!” -Aaron Palileo, VP of ADP Industries

“I think the name tags with who I am looking for was a excellent idea to filter and get to identify who you want to network. Having said that, getting the "match" I wanted made the event purposeful and relevant.” - Harvard Uy de Baron, Founder of U! Happy Events

“I am originally from France but living here in the Philippines for already 5 years. I found the Mixer event I attended recently very interesting! I met a lot of other like-minded people and young entrepreneurs. I found it very different than other networking events that we can find around the city, with very interesting people. I experienced a young and energetic crowd that wants to shake the city and country with new businesses and ideas. ISI is a great example! I will definitely go back to the next events.” -Philibert Callan Belval of Asia Relocation ([email protected]) - Paris, France
