ProCodeCG codeMeetUp() #74 – CyberLabs – 13 Tips to Create Your Own StartUp Company

Today before we started our 74th codeMeetUp(), we coached one of ProCodeCG Kids about a project 🙂

His Mom came as the audience of codeMeetUp() and next week she will be in our Coding Mum Class 🙂

Our guest today is the Founder and CEO of CyberLabs: Ahmad Syarif Hidayatullah 🙂

He shared all the secrets that make CyberLabs a successful startup company

It was all started in 2014 with 4 people working in one room

And the added more crews (total 8) in 2015 and moved to a real office

Then it grew exponentially to 22 crews! 🙂

CyberLabs doesn’t have investors. It is surviving by doing bootstrapping.

What exactly CyberLabs do to survive and how?

First, sensing by doing survey

Then harvesting the result

Then build a prototype

To go through validation process. If the product does not pass this phase, you should do all over again (or at least from prototyping phase)

After the product has gone through validation process, then you can scale up

The core products of CyberLabs are Atom

Hydro

and Molecule

If you’re going to create your own startup up company you should pick one of these options

And learn from these successful startup companies

The startup should be able to multiply itself, has the opportunity to become big, borderless

Has competitive advantage like Garuda Indonesia vs AirAsia and iPhone vs Samsung

Garuda Indonesia and iPhone offer premium service (differentiation), AirAsia and Samsung offer low cost (cost leadership)

The startup should ready to pivot while keep growing. Has advisory board and share holder. And also has SOP.

Investors prefer a non solo startups. A start up should customer centric, has partnerships with big companies and has disruptive technology.

And the growth should be like folding paper to the moon: exponentially! 🙂

The summary:

It was a great topic! We don’t cover everything in here but we will post the video on ProCodeCG YouTube Channel 🙂

See you next week 🙂

Coding Mum Day 11 – 9 May 2016

Day 11 😉

The mums

The trainers

We learned to create some form with textfield and javascript 🙂

Like usual, trainers take turns to do the tasks: explaining in the front of the class, assisting the mums, some taking care of Git and taking pictures 🙂

The mums should apply what they learned from Day 9 – 10: javascript variables, looping, conditionals, functions and arrays.

We showed examples on the screen

Day 11 and one of the mum start wearing glasses! 😀

Trainers always make sure that everyone in the class can keep up

We only have 4 sessions left so we gotta work hard!

Not that hard though! We still have fun! 😉

🙂

🙂 🙂

Ok, this one is very serious 🙂

3 hours, never enough 😀

We have applied rules and new procedures to Git and still there are problems 😀

So teaching code to mums is one thing, the other one is to make sure they don’t lose their works 😀

All works should be committed and pushed to Git before the class ends.

Some screenshots of what we did in the class: creating a textfield and a button.

Adding more functions for different buttons

Accessing radio buttons

Creating checklists

And create a simple login form 😉
