🚶Curious Walking Club - Ho Chi Minh City 🇻🇳 #8 — Special Edition: Demo Day | Friends of Screate Labs
✨ This week: Demo Day
For the past few weeks, some of us have been talking about the products, projects + experiments we’re building.
soooo, Demo Day?
We walk 5K+ like usual, then head back for demos.
Bring whatever you’re building to the stage. Doesn’t need to be polished. Product, side project, prototype, creative experiment, weird thing you made last weekend — all welcome.
5 mins each:
→ what are you building?
→ why should people care?
→ show us the thing
→ get feedback from the room on the spot
We’ve got a pretty ridiculous density of startup founders, tech builders, creators + tech marketers in this room, so let’s see what comes out of it ✌️
P.S. Balaji will lead the walk this week, and I’ll be back to moderate Demo Day after.

Curious Walking Club is a global, recurring 5K+ walking ritual started in Ho Chi Minh City under Friends of Screate Labs, bringing founders, builders, and curious minds together across cities.
Every Thursday, we walk 5K+, meet interesting people, and let the conversations happen naturally.
Walk. Talk. Meet interesting people. Repeat.
No panels. No awkward networking. No fixed agenda.
Each walk starts with a question to get things moving: What changed your mind recently?
Past walks have wandered into:
• building companies from scratch
• moving cities and finding community
• AI, creativity, and the future of work
• unconventional careers and personal experiments
• the stories behind what people are building
The route changes. The people change. The conversations are the destination.
🌿 Who is this for?
Founders, builders, operators, creatives, researchers, and curious people who enjoy thoughtful conversations beyond traditional networking.
We keep the gate low, but curate the room.
You don't need to be a founder or have a polished LinkedIn. We look for curiosity, agency, and evidence that you're actively doing something. If your profile doesn't tell us much, tell us what you're working on, building, exploring, or curious about right now.
🚶 From one walk to a global network
Friends of Screate Labs is a global network by Screate Labs of founders, builders, operators, creators, and curious minds connected through shared experiences, rituals, and meaningful relationships.
Curious Walking Club is how we bring people together.
It started in Ho Chi Minh City on July 27, 2026 with Hien and a few friends. Six weeks later, the ritual had traveled to Singapore, Bengaluru, with Hanoi, New Delhi, Mumbai, Kuala Lumpur, Melbourne, Sydney, and more.
The idea is simple: give interesting people a reason to meet in real life.
Every city has its own people, host, route, and rhythm. But the ritual stays the same: walk 5K+, have good conversations, and see who you meet along the way.
The ritual travels. People meet locally. The network stay connected globally.
🇻🇳 Ho Chi Minh City
HCMC is the homebase of Curious Walking Club. We walk 5K+ every Thursday.
As CWC expands globally, Hien is stepping back from hosting every walk to focus on activating new cities and connecting the broader network.
