January Capital x OpenAI x Jelawang Capital: Builders Session (KL Edition)
🚀 Malaysia's AI builders, meet the team behind the platform you're building on.
Across Southeast Asia, a new generation of founders and technical operators is emerging — and Malaysia is becoming an increasingly important part of that story.
That’s why January Capital, together with OpenAI and Jelawang Capital, is bringing OpenAI’s Startups Team to Kuala Lumpur for a curated, hands-on session with founders and technical operators building AI products.
🇲🇾 Curated. Candid. Builder-first.
The session is designed as a guided build sprint, where you’ll:
Work on real product problems using OpenAI’s tools (Codex, Agents SDK, multimodal capabilities)
Engage directly with OpenAI’s team as you build
Demo your output and learn from other teams
We’re bringing together a high-signal group of builders — founders, CTOs and engineers — for a session focused on real implementation, not theory.
💡 What you’ll get
Hands-on time building with OpenAI’s tools
Perspective from January Capital on how AI products are being built and scaled across the region
Peer exchange with other AI builders
OpenAI credits for all attendees
🏆 Top demos will receive:
