Yunqi Capital × MiniMax: An OpenClaw Meetup That Went Far Beyond "Shrimp Farming"

➤➤ Nonstop "lobster dinners," a steady stream of "lobster-like" product launches, and a full package of "shrimp-farming ecosystem" support from policymakers... An Agent ecosystem is accelerating — one where tech geeks, startups, cloud providers, Big Tech players, industrial policy, and even ordinary people are all eager to take part.

Lately, more and more people have been getting their hands on OpenClaw. But if you take one step back, for startup teams, what's truly worth discussing may no longer be just "how to use it." When Agent stops being merely a buzzword in developer communities and starts becoming a battleground over products, infrastructure, and even entry points, founding teams are seriously asking: where do we go next?

Some shifts are already happening inside real companies. Take MiniMax, a Yunqi Capital portfolio company from its very first round: "Agent interns" have already covered 90% of employees in internal workflows.

You've probably seen plenty of OpenClaw events recently. This time, we're teaming up with MiniMax to host a slightly different kind of OpenClaw Meetup — one built exclusively for founders. Not just talking about how to raise shrimp, but pushing the conversation one step further —

Discussing directions to build in, how to judge opportunities, how teams should divide responsibilities, and how Agent will reshape the way we work and how organizations function.
