Singapore AI Founders VIP Dinner
An intimate evening for the builders behind tomorrow's AI systems
You're not just building features. You're building infrastructure that needs to survive scale.
Join us for an exclusive AI Founders Dinner in Singapore — a curated gathering of CTOs, founding engineers, and AI startup leaders who are shipping production AI systems and hungry for the real conversations that don't happen at conferences.
This edition, we're going deep on AI agent infrastructure with PingCAP, the team behind TiDB — the distributed SQL database quietly powering some of the most demanding AI workloads in the world.
🤖 Featured: How TiDB Powers Manus AI at Scale
Ever wonder what's running under the hood of an AI agent serving tens of millions of users?
Come hear how Manus AI — one of the most talked-about autonomous AI agents — chose TiDB as its backbone to handle the relentless read/write demands of real-time agent memory, session state, and multi-step reasoning pipelines.
TiDB isn't just a database. For AI agents, it's the persistent memory layer that makes scale possible — HTAP in a single system, with the MySQL compatibility your engineers already know.
We'll get into:
Why traditional databases break under agentic workloads
How TiDB handles agent memory, tool call history, and vector + relational data in production
Architecture patterns PingCAP recommends for AI agent systems at scale
Lessons from Manus AI's infrastructure as they scaled to tens of millions of users
What TiDB Cloud Zero means for the next generation of agent-native applications
🗓️ Agenda

Zero sign-up. Zero config. Zero friction. Provision a fully MySQL-compatible database with Vector Search and Full-Text Search in milliseconds via a single API call — no registration required.
🥂 What to Expect
A small group. Real conversations.
This is the dinner where founding teams share what's actually working — the database bottlenecks they didn't anticipate, the infrastructure decisions they'd make differently, and the playbooks they've built in production.
Curated seating for max signal-to-noise
Live demo and deep dive on TiDB Cloud Zero
Candid conversations with PingCAP's engineering leadership
Connect with AI founders and technical co-founders across Singapore's ecosystem
Great food, better conversations
🎯 Who This Is For
AI startup founders & co-founders
CTOs and VP Engineering building on LLMs
Engineers architecting production agent systems
Technical leaders thinking seriously about AI infrastructure at scale
Seats are extremely limited. This isn't a networking event — it's a working dinner for people who ship.
