BeyondX: Ciana Tzuo on Why It Matters
BeyondX: Ciana Tzuo on Why It Matters

From LaunchX to BeyondX has felt like a full-circle moment.

When I first joined LaunchX, I wasn’t just learning how to build a startup,I was learning how to build my own skills. The experience was intense, collaborative, and transformative. It wasn’t just about pitching ideas; it was about discovering what are my passions, what I could create, and how I could lead.

That’s why BeyondX isn’t just another conference to me, it’s a continuation of that journey.

The Mindset That Launches Us

Being part of the LaunchX community taught me that entrepreneurship isn’t just a career path, it’s a mindset. It’s the ultimate act of optimism. In a world that often feels chaotic, choosing to build something new is a way to reclaim agency and create tangible impact.

That’s the spirit we’re bringing to BeyondX.

At the same time, I know I still have so much to learn, new ideas, new technologies, new ways of thinking and solving problems. Especially from those who’ve built real companies, led professional teams, and navigated the highs and lows of the industry.

BeyondX puts me in the room with those people. It reminds me that growth happens when you’re part of the right conversations, with the right people, at the right time.

Surround yourself with the right people - Ciana and her community.

What BeyondX Creates

BeyondX is a space where ideas don’t just get shared, they get challenged, refined, and launched. It’s where alumni don’t just reconnect, they reimagine what’s next.

It’s where we gather to celebrate our wins, unpack our failures, and exchange our wildest, most ambitious ideas. It’s where we push each other and ourselves, to go beyond what we thought was possible.

What I Hope We All Take Away

If you’re attending BeyondX, I hope you leave feeling more connected, more inspired, and more empowered to take your next big leap. Whether you’re launching a startup, pivoting to a stronger place, or just exploring what’s possible, this community is here to lift each other up.

We may not all share the same background, but we do share the same drive: To build something meaningful.

Let’s go beyond, together.
