01 · The Underdogs Funnel

Three stages.
One founder who ships.

Every participant walks the same path: study → hack → build. The 1N2D is the centerpiece — where strangers become teams and ideas become prototypes.

Stage 01

Pre-event LMS

Self-paced · Online

Watch 5 aging-focused IMPACT lessons. Run the 5D self-diagnosis. Arrive already thinking like a founder, not a first-timer.

2 weeks · Gate: 80% complete
Stage 02 · Focus

1N2D Hackathon

Live · 8 Blocks · Taipei × Tokyo

One night, two days. Eight focused blocks with coaches from 優照護, 智齡科技, 弘道, and Japanese eldercare startups. Real elder users in the room.

2 days · Taipei + Tokyo live
Stage 03

Follow-up Batch

Continue · Coaching

Top teams continue to AIN's Follow-up Batch — long-term coaching, community, and a path to Tokyo SU Team.

Optional · Qualified teams

02 · 1N2D Hackathon · 8 Blocks

One weekend.
Eight blocks. Two cities.

No lectures. Each block has a coach, a goal, and a concrete output. Taipei and Tokyo run in parallel — shared openings, shared demo, synchronous cross-city coaching.
