Forwarding Enquiry: Idea of Entrepreneurship

MaGIC 11 years ago updated 11 years ago 2
I have a brilliant business idea involving breakfast food and the concept of a fun way to start your day. I won't get into the details but it excites me to see the trend of new restaurants and businesses for the past year and I feel like it is such a good time to venture into the food industry and do something out of the ordinary. Trust me, my idea is pretty extraordinary. However, I am way too young to be opening and managing my own "hipster" cafe and I do not have the proper resources to even start-up. I don't have the time or the money to invest in something so big. I did get the idea of maybe selling my business idea but I'm not sure if that is a thing. My Mom did tell me that I can ask you guys about it so I thought, why not?

Testing center

SoYeon Christina Ham 11 years ago updated by MaGIC 11 years ago 6
Hi,

I am SoYeon Ham from Bridge Mobile. We are planning to expand our business to South East Asia, and want to check whether it is working well or not in Malaysia. BridgeCall is a free call service that lets you make calls without launching its app. Google Play - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.bridgecall&hl=en
I will visit Malaysia to test quality of service. It would be great if you can give us some tips.
Is there a place that we can test mobile devices for free?


Thank you.
Regards,
SoYeon

Looking for Team Partner (Programmer / Web Developer)

Lui 11 years ago updated by Ariff Faisal 10 years ago 7
Hi, All.
I’m Lui (chiaboon.lui@gmail.com) and I have been working on a start-up idea since late 2014.
I hope, thru MaGIC, i could reach out other like-minded individual or team and to explore the possibility of work together on the following start-up project.

My Background
I practiced chemical engineering for about 10 years. I left my job in early 2014 and since then I work on my own small project about student accommodation.
By practicing, I learn about the lean start-up, customer development methodology, Google Analytics, SEO, and some fundamental knowledge about growth hacking.

Brief About The Project.
The intention of the project is to facilitate the learning of college / university students and to foster quality learning resources.
From the view of business model, the above database could then be capitalized via several revenue models.

Current Challenges
After went through the Problem Interviews with college students, I gained some insights about their current behaviors and validated the “Problems” assumptions in my lean business canvas.
At this stage, a MVP is required to further test on the hypothesis of the solution. Therefore, I am searching for team partner(s) who:
1. Is a programmer / web developer with entrepreneur mindset, commitment and integrity.
2. Is financially independent.
3. Has practical knowledge on Python.
4. (Optional) Has some practical knowledge on git and github.
5. (Optional) Has some practical knowledge about google analytics, google tag manager, google webmaster tool.

I have the basic source code for the MVP and should be sufficient to develop the MVP.

Similar to most of the individual who works on his/her own start-up project, I have no budget for hiring but full commitment to push the project as much as I can before running out my resources.

I am open for any advice and recommendation on getting the right team, resources for this project.
I could be reached at chiaboon.lui@gmail.com

Thanks a lot.

Regards'
Lui
