The media, both digital and traditional are critical platforms for today’s startups to showcase their products and services. Successfully harnessing the twin powers of digital media through social networking sites, and engaging traditional media such as news and radio outlets, adds to the potential customer reach of the startup, and also gives it the much needed traction and credibility to attract early stage investors.
All ideas are generated by sparks of creativity, that in itself is a great thing, both for the originator of the idea, and also the Asian ecosystem of future entrepreneurs. The most critical step for startups is to embark on the creation of the minimum viable product. A good idea should be followed up by a good plan to create the product. After which the marketing of the product can then take place.
The contest has a very purposeful mission to incubate and encourage young entrepreneurs, especially in Vietnam, where there is a huge talent pool of young adults, with massive economic growth potential. As an educator based in ASEAN, I would like to see more ASEAN businesses take flight, and it’s a personal pleasure to support and empower students in partnership with Swinburne Vietnam.
Thank you for being an advisor for Swin-Biz-Rockstar contest and for an interview with Swinburne Vietnam, hopefully Swin-Biz-Rockstar will bring students not only a playground but also a marvelous opportunity to fulfill their ambitions.
