The Alibaba CoCreate 2-day conference in Los Angeles was next-level exciting for so many reasons!
It was an incredible space to connect with fellow entrepreneurs and hear from visionary founders like Michael Jordan, Marcus Lemonis, Shiza Shahid, Barry Poznick, David Rogier, and many more. The event felt like an MBA crash course, offering firsthand insights into industry successes and lessons, plus networking opportunities with people starting or scaling their own businesses.
One of the highlights was getting a glimpse into the art of the pitch. Out of 30,000 applicants, 20 incredible finalists had just 90 seconds to sell their business ideas to a panel of judges. It was inspiring to see what they brought to the stage, ranging from a collapsible bike helmet and double-sided drinkware to a compact 3D printer, plant sensors, and more.
Many thanks to Alibaba for hosting such a wonderful, high-impact event. I am grateful for the experience!
