Startup Pitch
1.The Last Mile of Execution
Speaker:Vivian lee
Organization & Title:
Personal Bio:I am the Founder of ROLL ON, the exclusive Master Distributor for global startups entering Taiwan. I specialize in scaling multi-million dollar ventures through a disruptive, end-to-end business model that integrates fundraising, localized execution, and global distribution for high-value market dominance.
Talk Abstract :My journey from a high school entrepreneur to an exclusive Master Distributor for $100M+ global ventures is built on a radical premise: you don't need a massive budget to create massive value. As a solo founder, I’ve mastered a unique business model that facilitates seamless market entry into Taiwan without traditional upfront costs, generating immediate profitability for both global brands and local partners.
In this session, I will pull back the curtain on how I identify and secure high-value partnerships through a "shared-success" framework. I will explain the mechanics of my integrated approach, handling everything from fundraising and manufacturing to global distribution—and how I leverage these collaborations to turn Taiwan into a world-class launchpad.
I’ll also discuss the insights gained from the foreign CEOs I host on my podcast, Golden Ticket, and how building a powerful community is the ultimate multiplier. Whether you are a creator, founder, or digital nomad, learn the art of the "Zero-Cost" deal and discover how to execute a business model that prioritizes high-leverage results over traditional overhead.

Talk Abstract :In a world that rewards noise, constant visibility, and nonstop content, many founders
feel pressured to act like extroverts just to grow. But sustainable success doesn’t come from being louder, it comes from being aligned.
In this talk, Cap Hernandez shares how introverted founders can build scalable personal brands and businesses by leveraging their natural strengths.
Drawing from over a decade of experience in sales, digital marketing, and community building, he introduces a practical approach to attracting clients, building authority, and creating opportunities without burnout.
You’ll learn how to:
Show up online with clarity and confidence
Create content that connects without oversharing
Network in a way that feels natural even in a remote-first world
More importantly, you’ll discover how quiet consistency can outperform loud inconsistency.
This session is for founders, freelancers, and creators who want to grow their brand and income while staying true to who they are.
Because real growth doesn’t come from changing who you are. It comes from owning it.
