As Cebu continues to establish itself as a leading center for innovation, entrepreneurship, and economic growth, education remains one of the most powerful drivers of progress. The ability to equip individuals with relevant skills, knowledge, and opportunities not only strengthens communities but also fuels the ideas and talent needed to solve tomorrow’s challenges.
Recognizing the transformative role of education in shaping the future, DOHE is helping innovators develop solutions that make learning more accessible, effective, and impactful. Headquartered in London and operating in a growing innovation hub in Cebu City, DOHE is an international EdTech startup accelerator and ecosystem builder dedicated to supporting founders who are addressing real-world educational challenges through technology.
Unlike traditional venture capital firms that focus primarily on funding, DOHE focuses on empowering founders through coaching, capability building, strategic guidance, and access to a global network of innovators. Its mission is to help education-focused startups create meaningful and sustainable impact in communities around the world.
At the heart of its work is the flagship Go-Together Accelerator Program, a 24-week startup acceleration journey that provides early-stage founders with weekly coaching, business analysis, and ecosystem support. Through this structured program, startups gain the tools, networks, and insights needed to refine their solutions and scale their impact.
Behind every startup supported by DOHE is a founder working to solve a real challenge in education: whether improving access to quality learning, strengthening workforce readiness, enhancing educational outcomes, or creating new opportunities for underserved communities through technology.
The organization’s impact continues to grow globally. In 2025 alone, the Go-Together program accelerated more than 100 startups worldwide, with an ambitious goal of supporting 300 startups in 2026. Through its expanding international network, DOHE is creating opportunities for founders to learn, collaborate, and contribute to a more innovative and inclusive education ecosystem.
While DOHE operates globally, Cebu has become one of its most important centers for community engagement and ecosystem development. The organization sees the city as a place rich in talent, entrepreneurial energy, and collaborative spirit-qualities that position Cebu as a rising innovation hub in the region.
Beyond startup acceleration, DOHE has become an active contributor to Cebu’s growing startup ecosystem. Through its monthly All Aboard! Startup Cebu Mixer, the organization brings together founders, aspiring entrepreneurs, students, educators, corporate leaders, ecosystem enablers, investors, and government stakeholders in a space designed to foster meaningful conversations, partnerships, and opportunities.
Through its growing network of founders, educators, industry leaders, and ecosystem partners, DOHE also creates opportunities for organizations to collaborate on innovation initiatives, talent development programs, mentorship opportunities, and education-focused solutions that address emerging workforce and societal needs. By connecting diverse stakeholders, the organization helps bridge the gap between ideas, industry, and impact.
“While DOHE is a global EdTech accelerator, we have come to recognize the importance of supporting Cebu’s startup community through our monthly gatherings,” shares Walter Cang, Regional Executive of DOHE. “Success for us is measured by the number of founders connected, partnerships created, and opportunities unlocked within the ecosystem. When people come together, innovation becomes possible.”
This commitment to collaboration has also contributed to broader ecosystem-building efforts across the region. DOHE proudly serves as one of the founding sponsors of the Startup Ecosystem Alliance (SEA) Cebu, an initiative dedicated to strengthening cooperation among entrepreneurs, academic institutions, industry partners, investors, and support organizations.
Through initiatives such as the Go-Together Accelerator, All Aboard! Startup Cebu Mixer, and its support for ecosystem-wide partnerships, DOHE continues to champion a future where innovation, education, and entrepreneurship work hand in hand to create meaningful change.
As the organization expands its accelerator programs and community-building initiatives, its commitment remains clear: empowering founders, fostering innovation, and building stronger connections across the startup ecosystem.
Because when education and innovation come together, they create solutions that not only transform learning but also help build a better future for businesses, communities, and society as a whole.
