ShowcACE : Building a Startup that Lasts in the AI Era with DBS
Join ShowcACE with DBS for an afternoon of conversation, ideas, and practical insights at The Meeting Point (LaunchPad@One-North)! Hosted by ACE.SG, this session brings together founders, operators, and startup teams who want a closer look at how to build and grow with the right support around them in the AI Era. ✨
As AI transforms the way startups are built and scaled, founders have new opportunities to grow with leaner teams, smarter operations and data-driven decision-making. At the same time, they face critical challenges from managing cash flow and preparing for fundraising to expanding into new markets. 🚀
In partnership with DBS SME Banking, ShowcACE brings together startup founders for an interactive panel discussion, "From Idea to Scale: Building a Startup in the AI Era," where they will share practical insights and real-world experiences on using AI to drive business growth, improve productivity and build resilient businesses. 🤗
The discussion will explore how startups can apply AI across marketing, sales, customer support, operations and finance, while addressing key topics such as scaling with lean teams, financing growth, regional expansion and building the right financial infrastructures for long-term success.
Come prepared to engage, ask questions, and share your own experiences. We look forward to seeing you there!
