The Market Reopens — Come Browse With Curiosity | Vital Young
Counselor on Vitality --- *Note: "参赞" is an archaic term from the *I Ching* meaning "to assist and harmonize with" or "to participate in and enhance" — the full classical phrase is "参赞天地之化育" (to assist and complete the transforming and nourishing powers of Heaven and Earth). In modern usage, it can also refer to a diplomatic counselor/attaché. Without additional context, this appears to be a title or heading playing on both senses — perhaps for a piece about fostering vitality/life force, or a role that supports and cultivates vitality.*
Vital Young is back for round three.
At the night market on May 29, we want to hand the stage over to you — the curious ones.
On the road of exploration, opportunity never shows up wearing a name tag. Most of the time, it disguises itself as a question —
Fuzzy, uncertain, even a little "silly."
But it's these questions, this curiosity, that make up our entire imagination of the future.
Ivan Zhao, founder of Notion, once asked: "Why are all collaboration tools so ugly?"
It sounded like a throwaway complaint, but that question lit the spark for what became Notion. They insisted on treating design and structure as equals, spent two years refining, cut most features to keep only the core — and turned this originally niche concern into a thinking space used daily by tens of millions worldwide.
Cristóbal Valenzuela, founder of Runway, was also curious: "Why can't video be edited in real time, like text?"
That question led him to reimagine video creation with AI, and today Runway is reshaping how the creative industry works.
See? One question. That's all it takes.
In an era where everyone's rushing to find the "right answer," we want to invite you to talk about stories without conclusions, questions that still keep you up at night.
It doesn't need to be perfect. If you're willing to voice it, it might just be the spark that ignites the next great project.
Maybe you're sketching wireframes, just got your first working demo, and want to talk through your thinking;
Maybe you've tried countless products on the market, but have a different take on the future AI is building;
Or maybe you're a fiercely curious content creator, looking for inspiration and stories;
Or even just someone who can't help asking: "Why does it have to be this way?"
Vital Young Market belongs to those still on the journey — those refining ideas, polishing products, questioning common sense.
We hope you'll come set up a booth, tell your story, explore, rediscover your curiosity. Bring or trade a good question, and leave with some interesting connections.
No rigid agenda. No "expert panel." No performative success stories.
Just conversation, and genuine exchanges with people on your wavelength.
Come feel it in person. Not because we have answers, but because we can bring open minds and curiosity together — and set good questions on fire.
