I was talking to Hakim today, one of a passionate young entrepreneur who just got his Pre-Seed Fund. We were discussing about the plan to help an organization which is actively involved in prevention of cruelty to animals, to revamp their website.
Apparently, the potential of the website is very much underestimated by the management. The [...]

“Your dream is to travel the world. To make this happen, you think you need some money. You got a job and you work very hard to earn enough money…”
“You started an online business. It might takes you two years to make the project self sustaining. To cover the cost, you start looking for other [...]

Today, Youtube is popular. You can find almost any video you want there. The platform is free, the user base is large and contribute enough ‘interesting’ video clips to make it the most up-to-date channels than any other medias.
Think about this classic Chicken and Egg question. Visitors to Youtube are looking for video clips uploaded by other visitors. Which come first, visitors or video clips?
Many online business owner do not want to touch this. It is no doubt a tough questions to answer, yet so important that one should be aware of this and has a plan!
They appear like a dream project to me. They are different from conventional business which involved only selling of services of products. I doubt dream project is unplanned (like many stories you have heard from those successful Web 2.0 owners).
Plan it now!

Last week, Yowchuan and I make a visit to MMU incubator to meet up with the two founders of Enveluv, Rasel and Avijit Paul, together with Pei Lee and Dr. Yong. We can see the big dream behind the small incubator office, and the passion of them to make their dream come true! Keep up the good work!

My partner, Yowchuan was one of the few entrepreneurs invited to MMU’s Centre for Commercialization and Technopreneur Development (CCTD) 8 years ago. Through it was merely a 300 sqf of space, but was already big enough for our dream to wonder far. Having the first office there, we never look back again.
If I’m not wrong, there are few incubators in Malaysia, check out the full list of MSC Malaysia status incubators. Looking back, some incubators are just like another MSC, both work like The Real Estate Corridor.
Not only this, some trying to confuse our technopreneur to make them believe that all big dream need some big funding. Yet, at many times, they can’t even tell you if your business model is right? You spent lot of your time attending entrepreneur-related talk and meet up with those ’successful’ businessman who shows you where they are now, but not how to get there!
Working with my interns over the years, I believe we have talented graduates for sure. They are lacking of confident, instead of funding and cubicle space. Talking about this, schools should actually allow them to pursue their dream as early as during their final year project stage, than working on those impractical project to look good in GPA/CPA. If they start earlier, they save more time and prepare themselves better before graduating!
What entrepreneurs want?
The physical space of where they work is never bigger than their dream. When you’re the only one to go off the beaten road after graduating, you need more than the incubator to realize your dream!
