3/ But that’s the mission: make early screening and tracking affordable and easy.

Long road ahead, but the conversations here reminded me why it matters.

1/ 📍AAD @ Denver, mile high city, clear skies, full mind.

Spent four days surrounded by top trichology & dermatology experts from around the world, diving into the latest research and testing out the year’s most exciting new products.

Jet lag? Didn’t stand a chance.

Fruitful, focused, and fueling what’s next.

2/ We launched a skin analysis demo on Lushair (global) right before the conference: wrinkles, pores, acne, pigmentation, sensitivity, blackheads, oil, skin tone.

Still early — consumer-focused, home-based, and humbled by what medical-grade research requires.

[Fiona Bao @FIFI_BA0]

AI is now breathing life into hardware. Smart robots are moving out of labs and into our daily world. Automation isn’t just a concept anymore — it’s here.

On our wrists and in our clothes, a quiet revolution is unfolding. Next-gen wearables are turning us into living data streams — tracking everything from heart rhythms to stress in real time. OpenAI, Anthropic, and others are racing to build the AI that will understand it all.

And in this new world, Genpulse is building the AI infrastructure that powers the next generation of medical research and consumer health innovation. Since our pre-seed round, we’ve achieved $2.5M in revenue with 68% MoM growth, thanks to over 420,000 data contributions from 20,000+ people worldwide — already working with Stanford Hospital, Harvard iLab, NUS, and A*STAR.

This is more than an upgrade — it’s a shift in what it means to be human. For the first time, we can continuously understand our own health, supported by intelligence that learns with us.

The future isn’t just coming. It’s already being built — and it starts with data, discovery, and you.

I am usually private about my business collaborations but in April 2025 I made a terrible mistake.

I met a girl from an event a friend of mine was hosting in SF. She seemed like the perfect match of my vision. Berkeley cognitive scientist, earliest employee of world coin, local California girl but also lived in abroad. Little did I know how much she exaggerated her experience that I already asked her if she’s willing to take on a trial COO and partner role for our new American branch company.

We had 1 month remote coworking trial in April, where I had to set up the SOP for the American team and setting up group chats for her and our partners so she can start taking over the US operations.

I was fundraising in Asia so all of these happened with big time differences and she never really texted in those group chats besides saying hi. For 3 of the meetings we had to attend together for the advisor I brought in and accelerator I applied to, she was calling from the couch covering in blanket.

At first I thought it was California chill, I later realized it’s just her slothfulness.

She also didn’t graduate Berkeley and she’s actually 29 but her mindset and behavior was like someone in early 20s.

World coin experience she had was never validated as she never brought in related conversations nor did she know what’s space on twitter.

She made 5 connections in ETH CC after being there for 6 days. I paid for her flight ticket to France and her Airbnb. She requested to stay in Europe after ETHCC ended because she had “some friends hosting in Milan and Barcelona “ then she was MIA for 2 weeks. I was furious and stressed as we were fundraising so I fired her by the end of June.

She stayed in Europe for 2 month after and asked me to buy her a return ticket to a Greek holiday island which was more than 2500 USD after one month being fired and kept on harassing our partners and investors.

I was trying to be nice and offered an internship contract so we can still cover her flight back as we never had any contract signed during trial. She delusionally calls herself cofounder of the company after only knowing me for 3 months and without writing a single line of code, bringing any single one client or investor. She also used my credit card for her gym membership even after being fired.

I used my own money to buy her a ticket from Barcelona to SF in mid September because I realized she couldn’t afford one herself.

But she still hasn’t returned $5000+ worth of my personal belongings and inventory she had and she kept on harassing me in events.

That was a lesson learned in the hard way in 2025. Some people might have scammed their way out and I shouldn’t expose myself in a totally new country and culture with no filter and no guards.

And the same issue also happened with my telegram getting compromised.

I am trained as a bioengineer so I had my vision and belief in blockchain technology integration to innovate all the industries but it’s also inevitable that with the financial applications being developed first and fast ahead, crypto communities can be full of hyper predatory users and short term investors/builders.

2026 would be about strong body, strong mind. Real users, real returns and real revenue.
