Building a great product is only part of the journey. The bigger challenge is knowing what to build, who to build it for, and how to successfully bring it to market.
Join us for an exclusive Mentor Office Hour with Jetson Tan, Co-Founder & CEO of AlturaFlow. A serial entrepreneur, product leader, and 0-to-1 builder, Jetson has launched AI-powered products across North America, East Asia, and Southeast Asia. From contributing to Apple's Siri for Southeast Asia to founding and scaling startups in AI, fintech, HR tech, geospatial technology, and influencer marketing, he brings practical experience building products that solve real customer problems.
This interactive Office Hour is designed for founders looking for candid, actionable feedback. Selected startups will have the opportunity to pitch their company and receive live mentoring on product strategy, AI adoption, go-to-market execution, market validation, and expansion into Japan and the broader APAC region. Even if you're not pitching, you'll gain valuable insights by observing real startup discussions and Q&A.
Beyond the mentoring session, promising startups may be invited to continue working with our ecosystem through the Openfor.co Incubator, Founder Institute, and Co-Capital. Venture-scale startups may also be considered for introductions through Decile Group's global network of more than 1,000 VC firms, as well as connections with investors, corporate partners, and ecosystem builders across Japan, APAC, and beyond.
Note
This Office Hour is exclusively available to Openfor.co Incubator members, Founder Institute alumni, and invited startups-https://luma.com/vfduwvcr
