​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)

🌿 **Beauty World MRT → MacRitchie TreeTop Walk** | ~12km Forest Hike 📍 **Start**: Beauty World MRT (Control Center) 🏁 End: HSBC TreeTop Walk, MacRitchie Reservoir (Exit via Thomson Road) 📏 **Distance**:~ 12 km · ⏱ Duration: 3–4 hrs 💪 **Difficulty**: Moderate One of Singapore's best urban-to-rainforest hikes — cutting through dense rainforest, swamp boardwalks, and the reservoir's edge before reaching the highlight: a 250m suspension bridge 25m above the forest canopy. Watch out for monkeys, hornbills, and monitor lizards along the way. **What to bring** 1. 2L water minimum 2. Trail/running shoes (can get muddy) 3. Snacks, insect repellent, sunscreen, rain poncho 📅 Sunday · 8:45 AM sharp · Beauty World MRT Exit 🍜 **Optional Post-Hike Lunch @ Shunfu** Join us for a well-deserved lunch at Shunfu after the hike! Not mandatory, but a great way to wind down together.

Some walks are for fitness. This one is for kindness. Date: 11 April 2026 (Sat) Time: 8:30 am to 1:00 Venue: Upper Thomson MRT (TE8) Exit 4 Our journey begins at Thomson MRT, leading us into the peaceful trails of MacRitchie Reservoir. For 11km, we walk through nature — reminding ourselves that Singapore’s greatest strength has always been community. But the real purpose of the walk lies beyond the trail. At Shunfu Food Centre, we will savour the old-school flavours that many seniors from Blk 170 Toa Payoh still remember and long for — simple dishes that carry memories of kampung days, hard work, and a lifetime of stories. Through Pack2Treat, these meals become more than food. They become a small gesture of love for 80 elderly residents, while also supporting the hardworking older hawkers who keep these traditional tastes alive. This walk also celebrates the generous spirit of the Live Share & Care community, whose quiet acts of giving make these meals possible. From forest trail to hawker table, every step reminds us that kindness grows when people walk together. Because sometimes the most meaningful journey is not the 11km we complete — but the smiles we deliver at the end of the walk. Please read this #1 - This is a number-controlled event. Please come only if you are on the attending list. #2 - We will move out at 0830 sharp. We are not able to wait for late-comers. #3 - As this is a limited number event, please check your calendar and make sure you can come before you RSVP. Do not change your attendance at the last minute and deny someone else who genuinely wishes to come.

We will have our certified mediums available and you can receive 3 10-minute readings for $20. To keep you safe, we will be following all CDC and Health Dept. guidelines at our psychic fair today. Sitters and readers required to wear a mask. We will maintain a minimum of 6 foot physical distance during readings. Please, if you can, bring your own portable chair to use during your readings. Please note that we are at our wonderful new home at Unity of Columbus, 4211 Maize Road, Columbus, OH

Dinner and dancing

Pay attention! We’re delaying a week for those of you who may be on Spring break and/or celebrating the holiday. Ok, no pancakes, but waffles-a-plenty. Join the local UX and Digital Design community for a casual monthly breakfast. Look for us upstairs!

**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.
