It’s a summer filled with passion as our athletes compete on the world stage. And COMPUTEX has been the stage for global companies and startups to showcase their latest technologies.
At this year’s COMPUTEX, we saw technologies such as cloud and AI-based interactive virtual fitness service that enables athletes to train in anywhere they want. There was also a startup specializing in low-power embedded AI on mobile devices (https://reurl.cc/7r8GYQ). In the past, smart apparels that monitor heart rate (https://reurl.cc/En0xW1) also made a big splash. These are all examples of how technologies help people achieve their greatest potentials.
Don’t forget to root for our athletes and follow us for more innovative applications!
今年夏天熱情洋溢🤸運動選手紛紛在世界級的殿堂揮灑汗水,而 COMPUTEX 一直以來也持續提供全球廠商與新創團隊一個可以展示先進技術的舞台!
例如本屆參展廠商即展出基於人工智慧技術和雲端運算的虛擬互動健身服務,協助運動員不受環境限制進行鍛練、也有新創團隊開發適用於行動裝置與感測器的嵌入式AI(https://reurl.cc/7r8GYQ),讓終端設備以更低功耗實現智慧運算;過去也有品牌將 AI 運用於智慧衣(https://reurl.cc/En0xW1),讓運動員在訓練過程中,隨時掌握心肺強度等應用實例,皆透過科技輔助選手發揮最大潛力!
在為運動員喝采的同時,也別忘了持續關注 COMPTUEX,更多精彩應用將在未來閃亮登場!

【Lesson #3 - Talk to your investors】
Many founders spend countless hours of blood, sweat, and tears fundraising. Endless Zoom calls, perpetual follow-ups, coffee chats, check-ins, dinners, networking events, are all examples of this "always be fundraising" mentality commonly held among bootstrapping entrepreneurs. It's a lot of effort, that oftentimes does not carry over post-fundraising. Once they get money in, the communications falter—a grave mistake and wasted resource, according to Hai Ho, the founder/CEO of Triip (AW#18), a blockchain powered travel platform based in VN.

What I’ve come to learn is that the strength of your company is very closely tied to the strength of your relationship with your investors and how frequently you interact with them. Oftentimes in the early days of your startup, you tend to shrug off any need for external help. You managed to build up promising initial traction, raise a round or two of financing, hire top notch talent—things are good, why trouble yourself with managing investor relations. “I’ll reach out when there’s a problem” you might think to yourself.
Before, I would probably hold a board meeting once, maybe twice a year depending on everyone’s schedule, strictly for the purposes of corporate governance. I’ve since changed how I communicate with my investors. No matter how busy it gets, I make it an effort to send email updates once a month and have meetings with them twice a quarter.
Looking back on my 13 years of entrepreneurship, I wish I could’ve done this a lot sooner. Your investors collectively boast a wealth of experience, wisdom, and connections. Make sure you take advantage of that. Talk to them, in good times and bad. You’re on a long-term journey together, so the least you can do is put some trust in each other. They can help illuminate your blind spots, while leveling the playing field against competition, but only if you let them.
We often forget that founder-investor relations are still a type of human relationship at the end of the day, which can only be developed through consistent face-to-face interactions (virtual or physical), not just from a couple of WhatsApp messages here and there. Doing so has created a stronger bond and mutual understanding between my board and I, and ultimately allowed for more information flow, both ways. Most of my problems now have become much easier to solve than before.
Right when COVID first hit in early 2020, I was still somewhat optimistic about the fundraising climate and overall travel landscape, in my naivete. But one of our very early investors that I had recently rekindled with through my renewed IR efforts thankfully stepped in with a precautionary outlook, shepherding us through some scenario planning and advising us to cut costs to zero and assume we wouldn’t be able to get new funds in until 2024. His guidance was instrumental in helping us weather this storm so far. It’s been an incredibly tough time for travel companies this year, to say the least. But building this communication flow with my investors and advisors has made it 10x easier, for both tactical and moral support.

👧 今天是AIT程式少女特訓營第二天!學員們透過視訊與美國「天下無難事」實驗室創辦人米克·艾柏林學習交流,米克鼓勵這60位高中女生要繼續STEM教育相關課程和從事科技業,並運用科技來改變世界,將「不可能的事」變成「可能」。對學員們來說來說,學習Minecraft程式也是一種非常有趣且具有創意的體驗!讓我們拭目以待,看看他們明天的創意和設計出的遊戲!
另外,今天在程式少女特訓營的AI大挑戰課程中,女孩學員們見識到了人工智慧的先進應用案例,包括運用神經網絡技術,串聯30個核心處理器的超級電腦;使用深度學習技術的多個應用程式App - 可執行高階臉部與圖像辨識、驅動自動車駕駛,甚至輔助檢測心雜音,以利進一步的醫學分析和診斷。特別感謝東華大學吳建銘博士及其研究生團隊精心設計出這套有趣的課程內容,大大拓展了程式女孩們的視野!
👧Today is the second day of the 2020 Girls Tech Bootcamp! The campers started the day by interacting with Mick Ebeling via videoconference. Mick is the founder and CEO of the Not Impossible Foundation. He encouraged the campers to pursue STEM education and tech careers, use technology to change the world, and turn "impossible" into "possible". Learning coding with Minecraft also provide to be a very fun and creative experience for the campers! Let’s wait and see what games they are going to create tomorrow!
Also, at today’s Girls Tech Bootcamp, the AI Challenge exposed the participants to smart examples of cutting-edge AI applications: a Super 30 CPU Computer utilizing neural networks technology; fancy apps that use deep learning techniques to perform advanced facial/imagery recognitions, to realize autonomous driving of vehicles, and even to detect a heart murmur for further medical analysis and diagnosis. Special thanks to Dr. Wu Jiann-Ming and his team for the great design of this fun curriculum that really broadened the camp girls’ vision!#GirlsTechBootcamp #AIT程式少女特訓營 #AIChallenge
