Alhamdulillah, yesterday I got the chance to pitch for the semi-finals!
It is held at GA Space, a beautiful co-working space, located in the area of Luyang at Kota Kinabalu. But it does not end there, just by providing a space to work. Instead, GA Space is dedicated in coaching & mentoring young entrepreneurs, with providing co-working space as just one of their efforts to achieve the goals.

The following are the 20 contestants competing in the pitch competition.
It is very refreshing to hear all of these entrepreneurs, some being future entrepreneurs, delivering confidence & tenacity in pitching their business idea.
For example, I got a chance to work with Mothy Mitar in the three-days camp, who aims to provide a virtual tour guide app, which further will make touring especially for foreign tourists easier. As Malaysia is highly known for its tourism industry around the world, I believe his ideas will will significantly change Malaysian tourism landscape in years to come.
Another inspiring contestant to me is Joyce Lu, a fellow student of Universiti Malaysia Sabah. Only in her first year of studying, she has already proven herself to a great extent by being able to move foward to this semi-final contest. Her business idea is to develop an app connecting business owners and easing many technicalities for them.
Another contestant that caught my eye is Aisyah Aqilah, who runs a confinement centre (pusat pantang). I didn't know that was a thing!
Her business model is very suitable for the current era; providing a comprehensive care for both mothers and newborns in a very homely area. I'm so happy for her when she made it to the finals. I'm thinking of going there already, even I'm definitely far away from even getting married lol 🤣
And of course, out of my capability of mentioning every contestant here, I am humbled to meet them & hearing out their ideas. And I wish all the best for them in their future ventures!
These are my friends who are willing to sacrifice their weekend just to hear & vote a 5 minutes pitch for me. I'll say it again to use guys; moga Allah membalas jasa kalian 😊

Of course I will tell you. Just, not yet.
Do stay tuned! 😉
What's on my mind? Have a guess while you're at it.
