​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)

These classes focus on weapon practice. Many aikido techniques have their origin in weapons handling and thus are related with Japanese weapon arts like Kendo. Using a weapon as an extension of the hand, it generates higher impact speed and creates different danger and distance perception. On the other side, perfection of cuts and draws is a very meditational and focused practice. Despite danger, the mind should stay clear and movements should be very precise. As a result of weapons training, students polish their hands and body technique – with more precise movement, coordination and martial awareness. These are the main aspects of the classes: * Iaido * Jodori * Kenjutsu * Tantodori ### **Booking Information** * Please contact **98225900** to find out how to book this class. * The instructor will reach out to you once you've booked the class ### **Cancellation Policy** Credits will be considered used if class is cancelled within 24 hours before the start of the lesson

**Connected Westerville Night of Networking** *April Edition: The Introduction Economy* You've been to the networking events. You've done the small talk. Collected the cards. Forgotten the names. And walked out feeling like you just wasted two hours of your life. The problem isn't you. It's the format. Most networking events put you in a room and tell you to figure it out. So everyone defaults to elevator pitches and business talk, and nothing real gets built. Here's the truth about networking that most people miss: Your network isn't just who you know. It's who thinks of you when they're talking to someone else. *That's* The Introduction Economy. And it only works when relationships are real. There's a reason people who come once keep coming back. It starts with seven minutes that feel nothing like networking. Then we open it up. Free networking. More conversations. More momentum. This is a room full of corporate professionals, entrepreneurs, business owners, creatives, and career builders in the Westerville and Columbus area. The mix is the magic. You might never do business with everyone you meet tonight. But someone in this room will think of *you.* **By name**. So, the next time someone needs exactly what you do, you get the recommendation. **April 14th. RSVP now.** **When:** Tuesday\, April 14th \| 6:15 PM \-\- 8:00 PM **Where:** Vineyard Community Center \| 6000 Cooper Rd\, Westerville\, OH 43081
