KUALA LUMPUR, 2 August 2023 — In a groundbreaking collaboration, MYStartup, the dynamic startup ecosystem builder, and Tech in Asia (TIA), Asia’s leading online platform for tech and startup communities, have announced the launch of the MYStartup Bootcamp.
This transformative initiative aims to fuel Malaysia’s startup revolution by equipping first-time founders with the essential knowledge and skills to launch and scale their tech startups successfully.
The MYStartup Bootcamp, a nine-week intensive program, promises to be a game-changer for aspiring entrepreneurs. It offers a dynamic and immersive experience, providing participants with a comprehensive curriculum covering all the fundamentals of startup creation.
With hands-on learning, personalized mentorship, and invaluable networking opportunities, attendees will be well-prepared to embark on their entrepreneurial journey with confidence, transforming their innovative ideas into reality.
Ahmad Kashfi Alwi, Senior Vice President of Ecosystem Development at Cradle, expressed his excitement about the collaboration: “Many Malaysians have incredible, groundbreaking ideas, but often lack the right guidance to take the first step. The MYStartup Bootcamp, in partnership with Tech in Asia, aims to change that. By fueling a fresh wave of innovative startups, we are nurturing a thriving ecosystem in Malaysia, where passionate individuals can bring their tech visions to life.”
The boot camp’s star-studded lineup of mentors includes successful entrepreneurs like Bradley Priest of TradeGecko, David Python of Cariuma, Grace Sai of Multiple, and many others. These accomplished founders are generously offering mentorship and sharing invaluable insights to help aspiring entrepreneurs make informed decisions and avoid common pitfalls in their startup journey.
Maria Li, COO of Tech in Asia, emphasized the significance of mentorship: “Startup success is not just about brilliant ideas; it’s about learning from those who have already walked the path to success. We believe that with the right guidance, founders can overcome challenges and beat the odds. Through the MYStartup Bootcamp, we aim to empower more startups in Malaysia and foster an ecosystem that thrives on collaboration and knowledge sharing.”
The MYStartup Bootcamp aligns perfectly with the Malaysia Startup Ecosystem Roadmap 2021 – 2030, which emphasizes the role of innovation in elevating communities and contributing to the nation’s socioeconomic growth. By catalyzing growth in key sectors like fintech, cybersecurity, life sciences, energy, education, agriculture, and digital content, MYStartup is turning the “tech for good” movement into a powerful “tech for impact” revolution.
This vision is further bolstered by strategic partnerships with industry giants like Petronas, Maxis, Microsoft, DNB, and accelerators, who provide startups with access to experts, talent, global markets, and essential guidance. The MYStartup Bootcamp enhances this ecosystem by offering intensive training, mentorship, and resources, setting aspiring entrepreneurs on the path to success in today’s competitive landscape.
Applications for the MYStartup Bootcamp are now open to all aspiring entrepreneurs in Malaysia. Interested individuals can apply through the official website before the 31st of August, with early applications highly encouraged. As a testament to their commitment to fostering innovation, MYStartup is waiving the usual $1,999 program fee for all successful applicants from Malaysia.
Please note that only the top 20 applicants will be selected for this exclusive opportunity, so aspiring entrepreneurs are urged not to miss this chance to transform their startup journey.
