Buy&Ship

Congrats to the team behind the successful Business GoVirtual Conference 2024 (#BGOV2024)! 🎉Buy&Ship, as a cross-border e-commerce platform, is inspired by the incredible applications of AI in our daily lives. From insurance to retail, AI is revolutionizing the way we work and live. But at the end of the day, the true purpose is simple: to make people's lives better. At Buy&Ship, we’re embracing this vision by utilizing AI to source the lowest prices with the most options. It was great to share our perspectives at events like #BGOV2024. Sheldon Li shared these specific takeaways: 1️⃣ Improve customer services: AI works 24/7 to speed up response times and offer personalized support, learning from customer feedback to keep getting better;  2️⃣ Improve marketing: AI helps analyze customer data and create targeted campaigns, reaching the correct targeted audiences; 3️⃣ Product localization: LLM adapts products to local languages and preferences, ensuring everything fits culturally. The general idea is that AI techniques will further augment human capabilities.  We look forward to continuing to create a future where AI and human ingenuity converge to make life better! 🚀🌟

Bringing #Japan to the World! Keisuke Honda is a true legend in the world of football, and Buy&Ship is honored to have him as an investor. Honda san has not only dominated the pitch, but has also made waves as a visionary entrepreneur and angel investor. 🏅 One of the most impressive things about Honda is his incredible goal-scoring ability. He shared that one of his best goals was a stunning free kick against a Hong Kong team - showcasing his world-class talent and precision. But Honda's impact extends far beyond the football field. Apart from football and coaching, Honda has turned his attention to the world of business and investment. He's invested in Buy&Ship, a pioneering e-commerce platform, and has his sights set on finding the next "decacorn" - a company with the potential to grow exponentially on the global stage. What's truly inspiring about Honda is his relentless drive and winner's mindset. He's constantly seeking out new challenges and opportunities, always hungry to leave his mark on the world. This connected with Buy&Ship's vision to be the first destination Asia shoppers have in mind. Let's build together and showcase the best of Japan! 🛫 https://lnkd.in/gPexPNsK #future #socialentrepreneurs #success #investing #innovation #entrepreneurship
