About This Episode
Jacky Man (文梓軒) is a 22-year-old HKU double-degree student who co-founded Mastermock — an AI-powered exam question generator that helps teachers save four hours a week on paper-setting. He drives a taxi at night to fund his zero-revenue startup, pitched his way through dozens of rejections to land a government grant, scaled from ten employees down to two (and got better results), and still finds time to hunt for a girlfriend. A raw, honest look at what it's like to be young, broke, and building in Hong Kong's AI scene.
