​🧋 Boba Tech: After Dark

​Day 1 ends. The conversations don’t.

​After the first day of Boba Tech Summit 2026, Sip & Scale Taipei & ikigai Launchpad is bringing together founders, builders, investors, students, and friends from across Asia for a happy hour mixer.

​Boba Tech is bringing some of Asia’s most ambitious young founders together with global operators and investors, with speakers from YouTube, Twitch, OpenAI, Blitzscaling Ventures, and more. We wanted to create a smaller space after Day 1 where everyone can keep meeting without the conference badges, stages, and packed schedules.

​Come talk about what you heard that day, meet someone you missed at the summit, reconnect with friends flying into Taipei, and get to know the people you’ll be spending Day 2 with.

​Who you’ll meet:
Founders, operators, investors, students, creators, and members of the Sip & Scale, ikigai Launchpad (886 Studios), and Boba Tech communities from Taiwan and around the world.
