Product Design

A curated roundtable for founders and CTOs navigating real challenges in scaling tech products. Scaling a tech product isn’t just about growth — it’s about managing complexity. This is a small, curated roundtable bringing together founders and CTOs who are actively building and scaling systems. No panels. No presentations. Just honest conversations about what’s working, what’s breaking, and what’s becoming difficult.

​How Founders & Operators Use AI brings the eChai conversation to Singapore. Builders who are actively working with AI tools across coding, product, marketing, sales and internal operations, all in one place. ​There is no stage, no slides, no panel. Just people who are building things and using AI to do it better. Founders share the stack they rely on, what they have dropped and what has genuinely improved speed or output. Operators walk through the workflows they use day to day, how they structure prompts, where automation fits in and what still requires human judgment. ​The conversation happens naturally. Over coffee, over drinks, in small groups that form and reform through the evening. Someone mentions a tool they switched to last week. Someone else explains how they restructured their entire content workflow around AI. That is the format. ​Singapore brings together founders, operators and investors from across Asia and the world, and this session creates a focused space to meet the people who are shaping how startups work with AI. You will meet early stage founders building their first AI-powered pro ​duct, teams using AI to scale across global markets and operators who have integrated AI deeply into how they run their companies. ​People from fintech, SaaS, AI-native, deep tech, climate and creative tech often join in, making the exchange rich in perspectives and real use cases. ​ If you are experimenting with AI, already using it in your daily work, or curious about how Singapore's startup community is adopting AI, you are welcome to join a warm and global group of founders who enjoy learning from fellow builders one conversation at a time. ​Entry is free. You only pay for what you order. ​**eChai Ventures - Your Startup's Global Neighborhood.** Startups grow faster when founders are plugged into the right conversations. That's what eChai makes happen, connecting founders across cities, stages, and markets. Visit: [eChai.Ventures](https://echai.ventures/?utm_source=luma)

Arrive anytime from 10AM — bring your laptop, grab any open seat, stay as long as you like. ​Most people show up after lunch and settle in before The Stage. It's quiet, focused, and builder- and founder-led. ## **​**The Stage @ 1.30pm: **Before You Build: How to Think and Design Your Way to a Better Product with AI** ​AI made building cheaper. But it also made it easier to build the wrong thing, in the wrong way, too quickly. ​Before writing code, there are three things worth getting right: 1. ​Are we solving the right problem? 2. ​What are the core building blocks of the product? 3. ​Is this the right experience for the user? ​Gang Rui will share how he uses AI as a thinking partner before implementation starts—clarifying the problem, shaping the product's mental model, and exploring UI directions before anything gets built. ​He’ll also live-demo Paper, an AI design tool that helps teams move from rough ideas to designed screens, so you can validate the experience before committing to implementation. ​If you build with AI and want to ship products that feel clear, useful, and polished—not just fast—this session is for you. ​**Speaker — Gang Rui** ​Gang Rui is a Product Builder and the founder of Butterdot, an agency that helps companies build and fix AI systems that work beyond the demo.

AI is changing how art is made. But when does it stop being your work and start being the machine’s? This month we're going to be doing a panel with with digital image, music, and written word artists, talking about at what point, while using AI in the creation process, does the work become not the artist creation? We encourage audience participation during this event that will be moderated by Chris Slee. Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.

**The Data-Driven Brand: Using Analytics to Shape Perception** Can you use analytics to improve tacos? This being CBUSDAW, we think the answer is probably “yes”, but we’re not sure how to implement or test this theory. For our April meetup we’ve got Sara Kear, CMO of Condado Tacos, to investigate this delicious question. Sara will explore how she blends quantitative data and qualitative customer feedback to shape brand positioning and drive business decisions. We all know that marketing and analytics go way beyond attribution. Sara will show how Condado uses customer insights to inform product and pricing strategy. She’ll also highlight how Condado leverages customer feedback at scale to influence operational priorities, positioning marketing as the voice of the customer across the organization. In the last 12 years Condado has gone from one location in Columbus to 52 locations across 10 states, so we’re guessing there’s more to that growth than really good guac (though the guac probably helps). Ultimately, this talk focuses on the intersection of art and science—using data to inform creativity and build a brand that resonates with customers in a measurable way. **About Our Speaker** Sara Kear is Chief Marketing Officer at Condado Tacos, where she oversees brand, restaurant design, menu and pricing strategy, off-premise including catering, and customer data strategy. Since joining in 2021, she has helped grow the brand from 19 to 52 locations while building a data-driven marketing organization focused on loyalty and customer insights. Condado has since been named to the Inc. 5000, recognized as Breakout Retailer by Chain Store Age, and consistently ranked among FastCasual’s Top 100 Movers & Shakers.
