The 'Intelligent Transformation' Moment: How to Build a World-Leading AI Product | Unity Ventures AI Hardware Salon & After Party
Two events — at least one is bound to be your fit.
An AI-driven hardware revolution is accelerating.
On one hand, traditional smart hardware is evolving and leaping forward with AI empowerment, gaining new life. On the other, entirely new species like AI glasses and AI rings are breaking through boundaries, emerging as fresh entry points connecting humans to the AI world through novel form factors and interaction paradigms.
Standing at this "intelligent transformation" moment for hardware, we're trying to foresee the next frontier of smart hardware's future.
What new species will AI hardware give birth to?
What supply chain capabilities will these new species require?
How high will AI raise the software ceiling?
On Wednesday, October 22, we'll host two events in Shenzhen — the "AI Hardware Salon" in the afternoon and the after-party "AI Wonder Night" in the evening. We look forward to your arrival for lively exchanges with Unity Ventures investors, portfolio company founders, and industry experts.
Unity Ventures AI Hardware Salon
Time: October 22, 14:30–17:00 (check-in at 14:00)
Location: Near Vanke Cloud City, Xili, Nanshan, Shenzhen
Guests include Xiao Wang, founder of Unity Ventures, a Silicon Valley entrepreneur and domestic hardware industry expert, and founders from Unity Ventures portfolio companies. All three portfolio companies are currently hot cross-border projects: Laimou Technology, the "dark horse" of intelligent lawn mowers that completed three rounds of over 100 million RMB in funding within six months with revenue exceeding 100 million; and new players in the trending AI companion toys and AI smart glasses spaces. Guests will share entrepreneurial insights on cross-border go-to-market strategies, product definition, and more:
- Foreseeing innovation opportunities in "AI + hardware": firsthand practice and observations;
- Deconstructing the core moats of AI-native hardware: how to define scenarios, how to achieve product-market fit, and how "strong software, weak hardware" entrepreneurs can get started.
Limited to 40 seats. Entrepreneurs and industry professionals are welcome to join for open exchange and unconstrained conversation — this salon will be co-created by you and our guests.
After Party: Unity Ventures AI Wonder Night • Shenzhen
Time: October 22, 19:00–20:30 (check-in at 18:30)
Location: Tsinghua University Shenzhen International Graduate School, Nanshan, Shenzhen
Next Wednesday evening, we're co-hosting with Tsinghua SIGS an after-party themed "AI and Beyond." Topics extend beyond AI, open to students from Shenzhen University Town and all young people interested in entrepreneurship. The founder of an AI gaming company will share how AI is reconstructing games at Wonder Night, and a mystery guest with deep industry experience will also appear — well worth the anticipation.
Whether you want to chat live with early-stage tech investors about your project, hear entrepreneurial veterans share their insights, or meet new friends and potential co-founders, you're welcome to come for tea and conversation. Ask us Anything!
Spots are limited, first come first served. Once your registration is approved, we'll notify you of the specific address via text message or WeChat.
