Startups

This has been a fun day of basketball with the guys. I can’t find myself to sleep at this hour because after a few years of never exercising and or playing any kind of sports, I was too drained. So here I am writing a blog post about something Rama and me talked about before we played. About a week ago, I caught up with Ariel and Okto at Setiabudi One to have some geek talks. We met up around 8 PM and as always, we lost track of time and were home early in the morning. We talked about a lot of things that we agreed and also didn’t agreed. Technical stuffs like scaling a website and also some off topics like there were no mosquitos around while we were there lol. ...

What is the connection of a pack of cigarrettes with startups? Well I haven’t figured it out completely, might as well write my way until I found some special formula or maybe not, who knows? I am gonna enjoy writing this, hopefully this writing will also keep you entertained. Before anything else, please digest the writings here with a pinch of salt, some lemons and a shot of your favorite Tequila if available :p So this all began when I found myself addicted to 2 things which are cigarrettes and startups. Hey what do you know, that’s the first connection. ...

What a title lol! I just had one of the geekiest night just a few hours ago. Not in front of a laptop I might add, it’s one of those days when a few geeks gather to talk about geekness. The vitamin for the night are no other than towers and towers of Bali Hai beer at Bremer Kemang. Quite a night to wrap off a week full of prograsm :) ...

Some will say it’s enlightening, some also says it’s nothing new from a technical point of view but all of us agree that now is the time for Indonesia as an emerging market to grow and finally create an ecosystem supported by Its startups. Before I say anything else more, I have to say that I was late coming there :( Woke up too late and I got there just in time for @andisboediman and @andyzain presentation. No regrets though, their presentation rocked the house! It made people realize how big a market is in Indonesia and monetizing it is not impossible. ...

This Thursday night is a moment where innovation and most importantly being local matters. The potentials and ideas that we as Indonesians have are off the chart and I mean that! Indonesian Startups need mentoring and that’s a confession.

Each one of us brings something to the table. We are all strong in principle and our own ideas. The thing with ideas is that it can expand and grow into what once before unfamiliar territories.
