ProCodeCG codeMeetUp() #73 – RadyaLabs – MVP

Standard

Today, Co-Founder and Technology Director of RadyaLabs, Puja Pramudya, spent some time to be a guest speaker on our 73rd codeMeetUp() at BCCF Bandung 🙂

IMG_6996

The topic is about MVP to Validate Your Business Idea

IMG_6938

We have various audience, including one mum from Coding Mum 🙂
IMG_6939

IMG_6948IMG_6940

Every startup has their own passion, like Google

IMG_6941

or Facebook

IMG_6942

So does RadyaLabs 🙂
IMG_6943

Its passion is about mobile apps

IMG_6944

And like all startups, it has its own dream too
IMG_6947

Radya Labs has developed many mobile apps
IMG_6951

One of its best product is Appsterize

IMG_6952

The journey
IMG_6953

from ideation to kick-off

IMG_6954

from beta launch to v.10
IMG_6955

The development process took a long time due to these

IMG_6957

So RadyaLabs started to change their focus
IMG_6958

And listened more to the customer, resulting recurring clients and more transactions

IMG_6959

MVP is important
IMG_6961

Viable for what?

IMG_6962

The analogy
IMG_6963

The example

IMG_6964

The cycle
IMG_6965

Every product has its own MVP version to be defined

IMG_6966

Some techniques to build MVP version of our products
IMG_6967

Some examples

IMG_6968

Groupon MVP Version
IMG_6970

Another example
IMG_6971

Gojek MVP Version
IMG_6973

so the key is build with (free and available) software you know and do the manual work 🙂

IMG_6974

While also doing survey/interview and analysis
IMG_6975

Because numbers don’t lie

IMG_6976

Another example is Hailo
IMG_6977 IMG_6978
IMG_6979 IMG_6980

Every startup should set up metrics
IMG_6981 IMG_6982

And correlate the metrics with the target
IMG_6983

This is how Appsterize analyze the metrics and the targets

IMG_6984

The upcoming product of RadyaLabs 😉
IMG_6985

Well, everybody has a plan until.. (you get hit hard by Mike Tyson or a truck LOL). The point is, be prepared to whatever comes 🙂

IMG_6986

The references 🙂

IMG_6987

Today, Founder and CEO of GeekHunter, Ken Ratri Iswari, showed us about Be or Not To Be An Entrepreneur 🙂

IMG_7713

Ken Ratri Iswari is one of those rare and successful CEO. She got her Bachelor and Master Degree from SBM ITB, both cum laude 🙂 She has impressive professional experiences too, that later are very useful in helping her starting up GeekHunter.

IMG_7714

The awesome audience 🙂

IMG_7715

If you think girls in IT would look so dull and nerdy, take a look at this one 🙂

IMG_7716

After you graduate, what do you want to do? Most will answer that they will get married, or running family business, applying for a job and start up a company.

IMG_7717

The fact is that the statistic of unemployment rate for diploma/bachelor degree is very high.

IMG_7719

While the entrepreneur rate in Indonesia is very low compared to Malaysia, Singapore and Japan.

IMG_7720

The biggest reasons of why Indonesia is lacking of entrepreneur are these

IMG_7721

Plus, becoming a founder of startup is a full of stress and pressure. Lots of start up founder committed suicide due of mental breakdown.

IMG_7723

So are you sure you want to be an entrepreneur?

#1: you have to be mentally prepared.

IMG_7724

#2: you should be able to deal with failures

IMG_7725

The most common mental problems of entrepreneur is depression, ADHD and anxiety problems.

IMG_7726

Again, are you sure?

IMG_7727

#4: change your lifestyle. Being an entrepreneur doesn’t mean that you will get cash quickly and immediately become rich and successful.

IMG_7728

#5: find your way to survive.

IMG_7729

#6: exit plan?

IMG_7730

#7: thinking is not enough. do something.

IMG_7731

#8: survive a year. minimum.

IMG_7732

#9: look around to see if the environment support to you.

IMG_7735

Brace yourself. And may the force be with you 😀

What is great about ProCodeCG codeMeetUp() is that we can learn many things in just 1-3 hours.
Like yesterday, we learned A LOT about what a Gibran Huzaifah, the CEO of Cybreed, the founder of e-Fishery, has gone through – from one failure to another, from one business to another, until he becomes who he is now. In such a very young age.

IMG_8682This young man is not only a successful businessman. He is also a kind and down to earth person. And super funny too 😀
IMG_8683

e-Fishery has won lots of awards so far:

IMG_8692

and has grown bigger:

IMG_8695The values of e-fishery:
IMG_8693e-fishery’s features:
IMG_8694And very good tips for starting up a business:

Start early. Start small.

IMG_8696

The point is to find out if there is a problem to be solved, how to solve it, why people would buy your solution, and is it possible to create the product.
IMG_8697How to contact Gibran:
IMG_8698And this is us!
