โThis wasnโt just a trip to Silicon Valley. It was a moment that could change lives.โ When students met a founder from HKSTPโs Technothon programme, one whispered: โThis could be us.โ That spark in their eyesโthat belief that innovation can come from anywhereโis what I'll carry forever.

โFrom hearing Hap Klopp reveal โfailure as the secret sauceโ to decoding AI bottlenecks with top-tier VCs, I realized Silicon Valleyโs true moat is embracing asymmetric risk.โ

We donโt have to wait for the โperfect ideaโ to start. Start small, learn from failure, grow. Silicon Valley showed us itโs possible.
This transformative experience was made possible through our partnership with University of San Francisco.
To all students: your potential is limitless. Believe in โThis could be us.โ ๐ฆ
