Join us for an insightful sharing session led by Mr. Richard Lord (Senior Partner, Pangolin), where we will uncover what it really takes for startups to win and deliver successfully when selling to large corporations. In today’s enterprise environment, big corporates require more than an innovative product—they look for strong enterprise-grade technology, a startup company that is ready for the full selling journey, and founders/teams who can present their proposition clearly to the right stakeholders. As deals move from initial evaluation into procurement reviews and ultimately contract negotiations, readiness in all three areas becomes critical to success. Don’t miss out on the chance to learn directly from an experienced enterprise deal specialist and connect with fellow founders and entrepreneurs who are ready to take their business to the next level. 📅Date: 30 April 2026 (Thursday) ⏱️Time: 15:00 - 17:00 📍Venue: ARENA, G/F, Building 19W, Hong Kong Science Park Regisetr Now: [LINK](https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=wprhs5LhyESQvUGsv7Pc27TRpNyzYUhBhRg-DKVdFnRUNFo1SE5FTVMxNkFQWjhZOU41Vjg3MFpFUSQlQCN0PWcu) For any enquiry: mentorship@hkstp.org

**Most people learn *about* AI. We learn by building *with* it.** ​There are a thousand newsletters, courses, and YouTube videos explaining what AI is. This bootcamp is not that. This is 2 days of hands-on building — real tools, real APIs, real apps — guided by someone who has done it across consumer and enterprise products. ​By Day 2, you'll have shipped working AI products. Not demos. Not slides. **Things that work.** [Get tickets at eventbrite:](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/build-with-ai-hong-kong-tickets-1986302774067?utm-campaign=social&utm-content=landingpage&utm-medium=schoolofappliedai&utm-term=listing&utm-source=schoolofappliedai&keep_tld=true&utm_source=luma) *** ## ​🎯 Who Should Attend ​You're a great fit if… ​You want to build, not just learn. ​You're a founder, executive, or self-starter. ​You want practical skills, not theory ​You're serious about staying ahead in AI You might not be ready if… You're looking for a passive lecture experience. ​You think watching is the same as doing You're not willing to experiment and fail fast You need heavy technical hand-holding [Get tickets at eventbrite:](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/build-with-ai-hong-kong-tickets-1986302774067?utm-campaign=social&utm-content=landingpage&utm-medium=schoolofappliedai&utm-term=listing&utm-source=schoolofappliedai&keep_tld=true&utm_source=luma) *** ## ​🔨 What You'll Build ​Over 2 days, you'll build and ship: ​**→ A personal brand , a service webapp which accepts payments, a customer feedback system and a custom web app which solves your own problem.** ​Every project is yours to keep and launch. *** ## ​📅 Agenda Overview ​**Day 1 — Saturday, May 2** You hit the ground running. After a quick orientation on the AI landscape and how web apps actually work, you build three real products before the day ends: your personal brand website (live on a custom domain by lunch), a client-facing services page that takes real Stripe payments, and a lead magnet page with an AI-powered CRM that auto-scores leads and writes follow-up emails for you. The day closes with an AI Trend Spotlight and open build time to keep experimenting. ​**Day 2 — Sunday, May 3** You go deeper and finish strong. The morning is spent building a login-protected customer portal where clients can access resources and submit support tickets — no developer needed. After lunch and a second AI Trend Spotlight, you spend the afternoon on your capstone: building the app your own business has actually been waiting for, with dedicated 1-on-1 facilitator support the whole way through. You then build your pitch deck live using Lovable, present your app at the final showcase, and leave with a certificate and five deployed products that are yours to keep. *** ## ​💡 The Philosophy > ​*You cannot think your way into understanding AI. You build your way in.* ​Every breakthrough in your understanding will come from something not working — and then figuring out why. That's the method. That's why 2 days of building teaches more than 3 months of reading. *** ## ​📍 Event Details ​🗓 **Date:** 2nd and 3rd May · Hong Kong 📍 **Venue:** Chinachem plaza, 178-186 Johnston Road, 4/F Chinachem plaza , Wan chai, Hong kong 👥 **Cohort:** Max 20 participants (intentionally small) 💰 **Investment:** HK$2\,500 \- HK $4000 \| Early\-bird pricing available [Get tickets at eventbrite:](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/build-with-ai-hong-kong-tickets-1986302774067?utm-campaign=social&utm-content=landingpage&utm-medium=schoolofappliedai&utm-term=listing&utm-source=schoolofappliedai&keep_tld=true&utm_source=luma) *** ## ​✅ What to Bring * ​Your laptop (Mac or Windows, both fine) * ​A project idea you want to build (optional but encouraged) * ​Openness to experimenting, breaking things, and shipping fast *** ## ​👋 Your Host ​**Altaf** — founder, builder, and educator at the School of Applied AI.
