Payments & Growth: Founder Mahjong Night | AI Valley × Antom

Building your payment stack or preparing to expand into new markets?

Join AI Valley × Antom for an evening connecting founders exploring payment solutions for their businesses—with a focused conversation, Q&A, and casual mahjong.

We’ll hear from the Antom team before opening the floor for questions. Bring the payment challenges you’re thinking through: accepting customer payments, managing subscriptions, supporting local payment methods, or selling across borders.

Afterward, continue the conversation around the mahjong tables and meet other founders navigating growth.
