JAFCO Asia and BOYUN Technology Unite at CUHK to Share Insights on Future Intelligent Productivity Tools. HONGKONG, CHINA, June 25, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- JAFCO Asia, a leading brand in the venture capital industry, has recently partnered with BOYUN Technology Limited, a fast-growing startup, to hold an in-depth exchange event at the Chinese University of Hong Kong in the first half of 2024, aiming to share with the students in campus the future trends of intelligent productivity tools, as well as the journey of BOYUN growing up to be a “Startup Star”.

Identifying Promising Startups: Insights into Investment Opportunities

With over 29 years of investment history in the early to mid-stage high-growth technology companies in the Asia-Pacific market, JAFCO Asia exceeded a total fund management of $2 billion. Alex, a senior investor from JAFCO Asia, expressed strong confidence in the prospects of online collaborative efficiency tools after in-depth market research.

After the global pandemic, an increasing number of companies have recognized the benefits of remote work and have continued the practice, leading to a growing trend in the application of online collaborative tools. These tools will evolve beyond simple platforms to become AI-powered online workplaces, for AI can generate content in various formats and styles according to user needs, thus improving work efficiency.

In addition, cloud-based and all-in-one also represent the mainstream trend for online collaboration tools. Being all-in-one means that these tools not only support real-time collaborative editing but also integrate various functional modules that are specifically designed for a certain industry. The cloud-based factor, on the other hand, allows users to access the latest version of the tool through a browser without installing any software, and to collaborate anytime, anywhere.

Alex emphasized that these are exactly the characteristics of BOYUN's products, and believed that with its proven experience in operating and developing efficiency tools, BOYUN had the potential to become the next Big Tech.

BOYUN Technology Limited was established with the mission of delivering comprehensive global solutions to address the collaborative and teamwork requirements of individuals worldwide. The leading-edge company has autonomously developed two flagship products: Boardmix, an innovative online whiteboard, and Pixso, a collaborative design tool. On account of its remarkable product offerings, BOYUN has amassed a user base of 6 million globally and achieved nearly 200 million CNY in financing during its third year of operation. As BOYUN delves deeper into the Hong Kong market, there is a prevailing expectation that these two products will swiftly attain widespread recognition among local users.

Explosive Expansion of AI-Driven Productivity Tools Signals New Era of Efficiency

Through a dynamic presentation, the Marketing Manager of BOYUN, Sasa introduced the transformative capabilities of its flagship offerings, demonstrating how they cater to the evolving needs of modern professionals.

Offering automated layout features, Pixso equips product managers and UI/UX designers with a library of prototype templates and component variations, enabling rapid creation of high-fidelity prototypes, interactive animation display, and efficient project delivery.

Boardmix, on the other hand, caters to a broader demographic. The infinite canvas, coupled with visual elements and a variety of template resources, provides an all-in-one solution for team collaboration.

Josh, a computer science student, clinched the Best Performance & Creativity Award with his mind map template. He praised the intelligent components and modules for significantly reducing the time required to create mind maps and the ingenious design of the roadmap function.

Despite prior familiarity with various efficiency tools for knowledge management and school assignments, students in Hong Kong were notably impressed by the intelligent features, extensive template library, and robust AI capabilities offered by both Pixso and Boardmix.
