During the coaching programme, Nur Amalina, A’Fowsh Flora, Wesley Fung and Kiew Hui Shan created ideas that were inspired by their personal lives, built “fake-door” websites to validate them amongst their social circles and the internet, and refined their ideas based on responses they received. “One key learning was that no response is a response as well. I learnt that it did not mean that my idea failed, it meant I had to improve on it,” commented Hui Shan.
Our awardees also learnt how to use applications such as Launchacho and Type Form for testing of their ideas, and learnt how to track interest on their webpage meaningfully through link management platforms such as Bitly.
