About this event
Introduction
University of Malaya (UM), a top-ranking University in Malaysia, renowned with its great education platform and innovative researched products. UM is eager to bring it's innovative researched products to market through startups. These selected startups are being initiated by UM researchers. However these researchers, who are academicians know their limitation in commercialising, bring to market, their own researched products. They need business co-founder(s) to lead and run the business portion of their startups. This is where UM Startups Co-Founder Search Day comes in.
Event
UMDT Startup Co-Founder Search Day is an event when researchers will pitch their startup researched ideas in search of business co-founders.
- 15-20 startup ideas with researchers looking for a business co-founder(s).
- Startups ideas on medical devices, engineering products , aquaculture, AI, apps, green tech and others
- No limit to the number of co-founders per startup.
- An individual or a group of people.
- No limit to the age as long as above the legal age to become a business partner.
- It's NOT a criteria that the business co-founder has business experience. We believe experience is good to have but not primary importance in growing a startup.
