    EP4-7 | Would This Startup Exist If Its Founder Were a Man?
    Oct 19 2026
    In this episode, we sit down with Shao Hua Huang, founder of Cocoon Bravolution, a Taiwan fashion-tech startup using AI, body data, and fit intelligence to rethink how women find the right bra.The idea traces back to her time at the London College of Fashion, where her research explored using 3D body scanning to improve bra fitting. She later joined a sustainability accelerator at Cambridge before returning to Taiwan and turning the research into a business.But why is something as basic as bra sizing still difficult to get right? Shao Hua explains why she sees fit as a data problem, how Cocoon learns from different body shapes and products, and why better fitting could also mean fewer returns, unwanted purchases, and less waste. Cocoon increasingly sees the technology as applicable beyond lingerie to the wider fashion industry.We also discuss why she chose Taiwan to build the company, taking Cocoon back to Europe, and the challenges of scaling as a woman entrepreneur in Taiwan.In this episode, you'll learn:Why bra fitting remains an unsolved problemHow a fashion problem became an AI and data startupWhy Shao Hua returned from the UK to build in TaiwanHow Cocoon approaches body diversity and data privacyWhy better fit could reduce fashion wasteWhether lingerie is only the first market for Cocoon's technologyWhat it takes for a women-led Taiwan startup to scale globally如果創辦人是男性，這家新創還會誕生嗎？用 AI 與身體數據重塑貼身衣物體驗 ft. Cocoon Bravolution 創辦人 黃少樺 Shao Hua Huang挑選合適的內衣，為何在科技高度發展的今天依然是全球女性的共同痛點？本集節目邀請到台灣時尚科技（Fashion-tech）新創 Cocoon Bravolution 創辦人黃少樺，深入探討她如何結合人工智慧、身體數據與適配智慧演算法，徹底顛覆女性尋找合適內衣的傳統體驗。這項技術的開端，源自她在倫敦時裝學院（London College of Fashion）期間以 3D 人體掃描改善內衣適配度的學術研究，隨後她參與劍橋大學永續加速器，並最終選擇回到台灣將科研成果轉化為商業落地。少樺剖析了內衣尺寸難以標準化的根本原因，將版型適配視為純粹的「數據科學問題」，不僅有效降低電商退貨率與庫存浪費，更將這套核心技術擴展至更廣泛的時尚產業。本集同時也將分享她作為女性創業家，在台灣打造全球化新創的挑戰與洞察。本集重點：尺碼規格化的百年盲點：版型適配本質是複雜的幾何數據問題，為何傳統測量機制始終無法解決合身痛點學術科研跨界數據新創：從倫敦時裝學院研究到劍橋永續加速器，如何將 3D 人體測量轉化為商業運作平台告別時尚產業的過度浪費：精準適配如何從源頭大幅壓縮退貨率與無效購買，落實綠色供應鏈價值立足台灣放眼歐洲市場：剖析回台創業的產業供應鏈優勢，以及如何以台灣為技術試驗場重新進軍海外女性創業者引領全球規模化：探討以切身體驗為出發點的科技創新，在多元包容與商業擴張上的獨特韌性📍 About Host: Paolo Joseph LisingSenior Global Community Builder, Business Next Media Corp. 巨思媒體集團#GlobalFounders #TaiwanStartup #StartupEcosystem🌏 Helping foreign founders navigate Taiwan’s startup ecosystem by bringing together founders, investors, and innovators to share practical insights and support more global startups in Taiwan.🔗 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paolojoseph/📚 Learn more about Taiwan’s startup ecosystem 👉🏼 https://meetstartup.pse.is/4jhd5u🚀 Stay connected with Taiwan–Silicon Valley innovation via the Startup Island TAIWAN Silicon Valley HubWebsite: https://sv.startupisland.tw/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/startup-island-taiwan-sv/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Startup-Island-Taiwan-Silicon-Valley-Hub/61586221303202/ Powered by Firstory Hosting

  • EP4-6 | Ex-Anthropic Dev Warns on AI Control as Someone Builds Transparent AI in Taiwan

    EP4-6 | Ex-Anthropic Dev Warns on AI Control as Someone Builds Transparent AI in Taiwan
    Oct 5 2026
    In this episode, we sit down with Ninad Jagdish, founder of Dwnrt Absrd and creator of SupaSim, an AI platform that models and simulates how organizations work. Ninad argues that while AI systems like ChatGPT can know a lot, that doesn’t necessarily mean they understand how a business or organization actually works.So what’s missing? Ninad believes AI needs explicit models that people can inspect, test, and challenge. We discuss what SupaSim can do differently from ChatGPT, spreadsheets, and consultants, how we know when its models are wrong, and why he argues that memory and skills alone aren’t enough for AI.We also tackle the bigger question of AI control. As researchers warn about increasingly capable AI systems, could making AI’s models more transparent help keep humans in control? And with Taiwan pushing for transparency, explainability, and human oversight in AI, could Taiwan become a place to build and test a different approach?In this episode, you'll learn:Why more data doesn’t necessarily mean AI understands a businessWhat SupaSim does differently from ChatGPT or a spreadsheetWhy Ninad believes AI needs more than memory and skillsHow transparent models could help humans question AI decisionsWhat AI safety concerns mean for SupaSim’s approachHow Taiwan fits into the push for more transparent AIWhat happens if AI eventually moves from testing decisions to making them前 Anthropic 開發者提出 AI 控制警訊：這家台灣新創如何以「透明模型」守護人類主導權？ ft. Dwnrt Absrd 創辦人 Ninad Jagdish當以大型語言模型為核心的 AI 展現驚人記憶力與產出能力時，這是否意味著系統真的理解企業運作的底層邏輯？曾任職於 Anthropic 等頂尖團隊的 Ninad Jagdish 指出，海量資料與技能庫並不能等同於具備組織運行脈絡的認知模型。如果決策過程依然深藏於黑盒子中，人類將難以驗證其真偽。為此，Ninad 在台灣創立 Dwnrt Absrd 並推出 SupaSim，打造可受檢驗、推演與挑戰的透明組織模擬架構。本集節目深入探討 AI 安全與可解釋性的關鍵命題，以及台灣如何憑藉對信任與人本監管的重視，成為新世代負責任 AI 的淬鍊基地。本集重點：資料量不等於理解力：剖析語言模型的認知盲點，為何單純的記憶與技能無法替代真實商業邏輯突破試算表與顧問框架：SupaSim 如何透過動態模擬組織運作，提供比傳統工具更精確的驗證途徑打開黑盒子的透明模型：唯有讓人類能夠檢視並質疑演算依據，才能落實人機協作的安全底線防範失控的關鍵防線：直擊 AI 安全研究者的核心焦慮，探討模型透明化如何確保人類握有最終控制權台灣的制度與信任優勢：在注重可解釋性與人為監督的政策環境下，台灣如何成為透明 AI 技術的理想試驗場📍 About Host: Paolo Joseph LisingSenior Global Community Builder, Business Next Media Corp. 巨思媒體集團#GlobalFounders #TaiwanStartup #StartupEcosystem🌏 Helping foreign founders navigate Taiwan’s startup ecosystem by bringing together founders, investors, and innovators to share practical insights and support more global startups in Taiwan.🔗 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paolojoseph/📚 Learn more about Taiwan’s startup ecosystem 👉🏼 https://meetstartup.pse.is/4jhd5u🚀 Stay connected with Taiwan–Silicon Valley innovation via the Startup Island TAIWAN Silicon Valley HubWebsite: https://sv.startupisland.tw/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/startup-island-taiwan-sv/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Startup-Island-Taiwan-Silicon-Valley-Hub/61586221303202/ Powered by Firstory Hosting

  • EP4-5 | Taiwan is Brewing a Different Kind of Coffee

    EP4-5 | Taiwan is Brewing a Different Kind of Coffee
    Sep 28 2026

    In this episode, we sit down with Jenny Hsu, a former Web3 operator who went from managing P&Ls, restructuring teams, and scaling startups to spending nearly three years working on farms, coral reefs, and regenerative agriculture.

    That unexpected journey eventually brought her back to entrepreneurship — this time through coffee.

    Jenny is now building ventures around regenerative agriculture and coffee, including Omawild, which she describes as “a nature fund disguised as coffee.”

    We talk about why she walked away from tech, what she discovered in Indonesia, why coffee became the vehicle for her bigger mission, and whether regenerative agriculture can actually scale without losing what makes it regenerative.

    In this episode, you'll learn:

    • Why Jenny walked away from the Web3 world
    • What she discovered through regenerative agriculture and coral restoration
    • Why coffee became her next business
    • What we don't see behind a bag of coffee
    • How Omawild connects coffee with nature restoration
    • Whether regenerative agriculture can actually scale
    • What Jenny is bringing back to Taiwan

    從 Web3 到再生農業：她如何用一杯咖啡打造「偽裝成咖啡的自然基金」？ ft. Omawild 創辦人 Jenny Hsu

    從經手損益表、重組團隊到推動 Web3 新創規模化，Jenny Hsu 曾身處科技與數位資產的最前線。然而，她卻選擇毅然轉身，走入印尼的農場、走進珊瑚礁與再生農業現場，度過將近三年的田野歲月。這段看似意料之外的歷程，最終引領她帶著全新的視角重返創業圈——這一次，她以「咖啡」為載體，創辦了再生農業品牌 Omawild，將其定義為「偽裝成咖啡的自然基金」。本集節目邀請 Jenny 深入分享她告別科技業的心路歷程、在印尼土地上的實地發現，以及如何在商業規模化與永續生態復育之間找到真正的平衡。

    本集重點：

    • 轉身告別 Web3 浪潮：放下損益表與團隊擴張的日常，為何選擇跨入看似遙遠的自然土地
    • 泥土與珊瑚礁的現場震撼：深入印尼三年實地耕作，第一線看見再生農業與海洋修復的真實困境
    • 為何是咖啡？：揭開每一包咖啡背後被忽視的產銷鏈真相，讓日常飲品化為驅動生態修復的槓桿
    • Omawild 的商業模式解密：如何跳脫傳統綠色倡議框架，將商業利潤精準導向長期的大自然投資
    • 永續與規模化的拉鋸戰：探討再生農業能否在擴大市場規模的同時，守住對土壤與生態的核心承諾
