Hi,
The Apex Founder Retreat sold out.
And one thing became crystal clear:
Founders want more access.
Not more content.
Not more networking.
Real access.
The quality of founders joining Apex reinforced that.
Collectively, the group of 10 founders represents:
$1B+ in lifetime revenue
$600M+ in current company value
$200M+ raised
9 successful exits
Across AI, eCommerce, hardware, and Web3.
The goal is simple:
10X through the power of the room.
Because the people you meet often become more valuable than the places you visit.
That's why we're bringing back one of the best experiences we've ever run at Brinc:
The Brinc China Trip.
Coming in Q4 2026.
This China Trip isn't for everybody.
It's for founders who already have traction.
Founders who are already building something meaningful.
Founders who want to leverage Brinc's network, relationships, and ecosystem to scale better and faster.
The value isn't just in where we go.
It's in who you'll meet along the way.
Our first China Trip in 2015. We've come a long way since then. So has our founder community.
This isn't a tour.
This isn't a conference.
And it's definitely not another founder trip.
It's direct access for a vetted group of founders to the leaders, companies, and ecosystems shaping the future of manufacturing, technology, retail, and innovation across Hong Kong, China, and the world.
Past and planned trips have included introductions, meetings, and experiences with organizations such as:
American Club
Animoca Brands
Black Sheep Hospitality
CNN
DJI
Foxconn
MorphoMFG
Nike
Octopus
Rosewood
Stella International
Walmart
Leaders from the Hong Kong Government
Government and innovation leaders across China
And many more
You'll learn:
How to build relationships that would normally take years to access
How large corporations evaluate innovation and partnerships
How Asia's fastest-growing companies think about growth and scale
What founders get wrong when manufacturing in China
One of our recent founder events
Most founders will spend years trying to build access like this.
That's exactly why we're doing it.
We're currently building the itinerary and opening conversations with founders interested in joining us.
If this sounds like something you'd want to be part of, let us know.
We'll share more details soon.
Let's Build Better,
The VentureVerse Team
