Our 6th Annual Event

Where VCs & Founders Met in Vegas

January 10


AI was everywhere at CES this year!

Our VC speakers Nan Zhou of Qualcomm Ventures, Jay Eum of GFT Ventures underscored the high valuations for AI startups while other experts compared the frenzy to the dotcom boom. and questioned whether it will last. Also on the agenda: value of open source AI, privacy and copyright issues over data, and the continued tug between the US and China over tech power.

Technologist Alvin Wang Graylin of HTC spoke about the mix of AI and the metaverse, and his upcoming book with global strategist David Kaufman.

Thanks to our community of supporters:

Nixon Peabody, Invest Hong Kong,

Moss Adams, Cyberport.

We had a great turn-out and enjoyed a lot

of networking!

Plus five founders from Singapore, Hong Kong, San Francisco and Cleveland pitched before our judging panel.

Wesley Zheng (below) pitched his battery energy startup POSH.

The startup scene at CES was extraordinary this year. Seoul could not be missed. Same with France. Singapore had an active booth. Here's the ribbon cutting ceremony for the Singapore pavilion, with SF Consul-General Craig Lim.
