Forwarding Enquiry: Support initiatives

MaGIC 9 years ago updated 9 years ago 3
Dear sir / madam,

Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm Daryll Mak. My partners and I recently started Environ Base Solutions PLT with the vision of offering affordable, safe and truly
environmentally friendly, simplified solutions, which are technology based; for various industries.

We recognize that many industries are unable to source or have not considered the green approach thinking, that green must be expensive, inconvenient and ineffective. Our policy is to
enlighten and cultivate industries on environmentally sustainable applications by offering economically affordable and effective solutions to resolve the waste effluent that are generated by
the many industries.

Our solutions, when shown to seasoned veterans in their various industries (oil & gas, building maintenance cleaning, construction, hospitality, automotive, manufacturing, shipping) truly
astonished them as to its capabilities. They are astonished not just by the capabilities, but also, the fact that it can be easily applied to their respective industries and will revolutionize the way
they can do effective work.

All Environ Base Solutions PLT (EBS) products are developed in Malaysia, by Malaysians, through many actual project field tests, to the highest international standards, before it will be
accepted and applied to market.

I understand Magic Central helps navigate and connect start-up entrepreneurs to government and private agencies, funding sources and people in similar industries.
I would like to know if MAGIC will be able to connect me to the right actual people for the following matters:

1) To know are there any government departments and legislation that can support our initiatives?
2) What are currently available green incentives for development and marketing our products?
3) The right agencies to help us bring mass awareness and market our products both locally and international?

As we are confident we can develop products compatible (if not sometimes superior), to international standards, our ambition is to elevate our brand internationally and position Malaysia as a producer of affordable green solutions. Which government or private agencies would be able to assist us to open international markets and achieve this ambition?

Interested in building my own startup but i'm starting from scratch. Currently working in an mnc corporate environment. No experience and knowledge in starting a business, have not registered any companies and no prototype/proof of concept to begin with. Only have ideas and some illustrations.
My dream would be to start a 2d animation startup with my brother but I have no idea where to begin. How do i start? Could you provide any information or guidance if Magic would be able to assist me in anyway.

Forwarding Enquiry: Building hardware startup

MaGIC 9 years ago updated 9 years ago 3
Hi,
I wonder what is the chance of building a successful hardware startup? I have ideas of a wearable device but no prototype yet, so it is difficult to raise fund to even start to do any testing of the idea.
I have sent my application to many US angel investors such as Y-Combinator, Founders Fund, 500 startup etc. But no reply.
However, when I send the idea to MIT's professor at Multimedia Lab (Pattie Maes) she thinks it's a good idea and even ask me to join her lab.
I would like to get some advice here thanks!
