Testing center
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/
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.

Looking for Team Partner (Programmer / Web Developer)
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

Forwarding Enquiry: Business opportunities list/article
I would like to inquire if there is a comprehensive list or article available with regards to business opportunities that are currently available in Malaysia? I am a recent graduate and I've been trying to come up with ideas, however if there is an avenue where different opportunities are listed, a tailored startup to cater for the opportunity could perhaps be a way to start.

Forwarding Enquiry: Software Development
Dear Sir/Madam,
I'm a Group Senior Finance in a listed company here in Malaysia. As I was given the opportunity to be in the software development team and also attended the GST Agent course conducted by Kastam, I have recently came out with an idea or concept to help public to perform some functions which I think not available in the market. Unfortunately, the software development team did not work out fine so my concept is still a concept.
Moving forward, I would patent this solution but i'm not sure whether the solution needs to be developed prior to patenting.
Also, are there members in MaGIC who is willing to develop this solution?
Thank you.
Best regards
