Early this month me and my mate went for Preseed Approval meeting and have some really challenging moment for that presentation. We went out and we have a spark inside our head. The catch we get during that presentation not only about how to tweak our idea works, but a very big light bulk inspiring us about what is truely needs for an entrepreneur personality, is about dare to fail, a quote which I think Billy used to sell well about, and follow up with the reading quote from Guy Kawasaki from Garage Technologies, dare to fail, fail hard, and learn from it.

A strike of 6 times in Evaluation pitchings (6 continue submission to preseed.. when I looked back, and this number is continue to add-on) and 2 times in Approval meeting pitching make me really think alot, and also learn alot. For those who continue to try as hard as me, I know you going to success one day, for those who don’t think that Preseed is the bowl of rice for you to raise your first startup fund, my advice is, don’t give up until you sign your first approval letter with MSC. My sincere advice, you will gain more, and more and more be a bullet proof personal, and for your company too.

My personal opinion and experience, the takeout from this exercise (sorry if I called it that way) not only about tha RM150k, but you will also learn how to sell your idea in future to the VCs (if you need to raise money from them), pitching to your potential clients and so on. If you can’t even sell to the Preseed, what confident level you have to sell to the public, or you only build your system to sell to your dad or mum’s relative companies (well I agreed even Bill Gates first go through his mum to get contacted IBM and sell his first copy of DOS….) but those day are over. The world now are more challenging than ever. Information flow faster than you brain pulse sparks, or speed of light.

Me and my mates are going in again for tomorrow evaluation pitch… and if we can get it through this time, I will be happy to share my slide here, open up my idea and the entire presentation deck to you, no hiding. And for those who are in Preseed Batch 13, good luck to all of you… hope everyone of us can catch the last ride for Y2008 approval meeting… and start to ‘Change the World’ in Y2009 to come. I love Guy Kawasaki quote.. Cheers! And for those who wondering what am I talking about, feel free to check out the Technopreneur website and catch the last batch application which going to due on 2nd Jan 2009.
