News and Updates
Day 1 setup complete! We’ve packed our tiles for our biggest stage yet: the Tech in Asia Conference 2025, running 22–23 October at the Ritz-Carlton Pacific Place in Jakarta, as part of the event’s Startup Factory exhibitor track.
From a classroom in Singapore to a startup stage sharing floor space with venture-backed technology companies from across the region — it’s a genuinely surreal feeling to see Mujong featured among so many innovative brands and creators.
Tech in Asia’s own promotional material leaned into the novelty directly, describing Kiki as the conference’s youngest exhibitor and inviting attendees to “meet the 8-year-old inventor and founder of Kiki’s Music.” It’s the first time we’ve been positioned not just as a children’s product at a family event, but as a startup among startups — evaluated on the same terms as everyone else on the exhibition floor.
Kiki is treating these two days as a chance to explain Mujong’s mechanics to an audience of investors, founders, and journalists who have likely never encountered a mahjong-inspired music theory game before — in the compressed, confident pitches that startup conferences demand. It has to work on two levels at once: to a parent or educator walking the floor, Mujong needs to read as a genuinely useful teaching tool; to an investor or fellow founder, it needs to read as a real business with a real product and a founder — however young — who understands both.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by the booth today. More from Jakarta soon!
