Project Ideas
If you feel that you want to start any of these ideas on your own, go ahead and launch it. I couldn’t care less if anyone steals them because I have plenty and it would be a pity to see them as mere ideas as it would be impossible for me to launch all of the them in my lifetime while providing 100% commitment to it.

Skolif (School of Life for Developing Children- Practical life skills):
I started developing this idea through a conversation with a friend (shoutout to Ryan) where we agreed that education needs reform. We look to education as a gateway to getting a job with the start of the industrial revolution but left out key skills such as paying taxes, critical thinking, etiquette, mannerism and more. I mean just think back at when was the last time you actually used the differential equation? I guess unless you’re an engineer or mathematician, you’ve probably forgotten most of what you’ve learnt but things that I mentioned earlier are probably applied by you on a daily basis. So what if we can actually teach children all that so that they may become a contributing member of society? Inspired by

Lifilo (Wisdom Library - Stories of F*ck Ups):
Have you ever looked up to someone, been inspired or even aspire to become him/her? However, you are interested in what they’ve been through, the challenges they faced and how they overcome. No, this is not a motivational platform where interviewees gets to boast their success nor is it a public relations platform. This is an opportunity for our viewers to listen to the side where founders/ leaders/ CEOs were once at their lowest, what were the cause that led to their demise and how others can avoid them.

Vitora (Personalized Health - Supplement Subscription):
The idea is to collect multiple sources of data points from potential users to recommend them appropriate supplements and improve their general wellbeing. Unlike traditional supplement subscription companies, the idea is not to simply rely on a logic tree health declaration survey provided by customers but rely on historical health data such as wearable devices and/or DNA test (23andMe) to generate insights and provide dynamic (E.g ageing, life events) supplement recommendation for customers. This would allow us to collect immense amount of customers data while allowing us to engage our customers on a daily/weekly basis as they sync their health data to us. In future, we can sell health insight reports to supplement manufacturers or pharmaceutical companies which would want access to health data. In addition, we can also create a community of like minded individuals where we introduce certified fitness instructions, dieticians and nutritionists to our customers. Inspired by and
Hack-Hire (Redesigning Tech Recruitment):
Recruitment is fundamentally broken. As much as we as humans are convinced about our own unbiasedness, there are certain pre-conceived notion which we cannot escape from because of our environment and how we were brought up. Thus, majority of people talents still go unnoticed not because they do not possess the capability but because we pass them over other candidates whom we deems as “safe” hires. Everyone is this world believe that there is a supply and demand issue for technology hires but my belief is that the talent supply is there, we just have to find a way to unlock it. The idea is to use hackathon to assess candidates technology capability through working on technology challenges which a corporate client is working on. Inspired by and
VIKOL (Virtual Influencer Platform Manager + Data-driven Influencers):
are nothing new as they’ve been around for quite some time almost 10 years ago. However, the entire phenomenon started with the launch of where people were astonished to find that this perfectly tailored influencer happens to be well... not human. Ever since, a slew of virtual influencer has sprung up with some even gaining more than 5 million followers (Check ). Don’t be fooled as virtual influencers is a lucrative business with some even fetching as high as US$8,500 per post (). So why would anyone want to work with a virtual influencer since wouldn’t people feel uncomfortable due to the - a term coined by Masahiro Hito? Well, not surprisingly there are clear benefits for marketers working with virtual influencers such as having complete control over influencer image, no physical or technical limitations, less reputation risk (which happens often in the world of celebrities and influencers) and even less relationship risk (afterall you will be engaging a business and not a single individual who comes with all the drama). What if we take one step further? Creating a whole universe of virtual influencers with unique background, character, personality, race and even style. Imagine the possibilities of managing all this through a platform that not only gives you a risk-free tailor made options but also backed by data. That to me is the future of influencer marketing... of course there may be limitations with the rise of but who knows what our future might bring with the rise of new technologies, computing power and growing acceptance of virtual people. Even the thoughts of merging this with NFT has crossed my mind but that would be taking it too far and would require mass market adoption for it to work. Inspired by , and .
TL:DR (AI Article Summarizer):
As students, we spent hundreds and hours of our precious time over research which we have googled. Reason is because majority of the news articles, research papers or even a book has quite a lot of what I call “filler” words or simply contextual information that’s good to have but does not actually highlight any point. What we want as students or even researchers and consultants is to find key insights or sentences which can be highlighted to us in an instant, saving us countless hours and possibly improve our research skills as well. This can be done through a chrome extension where any page which you land on would be automatically summarize and saved within 5 sentences or less. Inspired by , and .
Artistique (Salon Management System):
Let’s face it. Most of us are still calling our barbers to schedule a session with them while mentioning our favorite stylist as well, or worst, we are using rudimentary booking system that lies within contact pages. I am personally baffled that even till now my favourite salon which has six outlets around the country still requires me to provide the same information even when I’ve been their loyal customer for over 3 years and yet still ask to fill in the form whenever I visit the schedule timing (yes, this is after I made a booking). On the flip side, majority of salons are still using excel or pen and paper for booking and scheduling. The way it operates is quite unique too where focus is on seat turnover as some salons rent out seats to stylist as not all stylist are employed by the salon. In addition, most of the loyalty still lies with the stylist themselves without giving any insights to the salon management on their customers. What if we are able to create a complete vertical integrated tool that helps salon with booking, pricing, payments, analytics, reviews, loyalty engagement, booth rental, inventory management and more.

Hustle Hoard (Human Capital Venture Investment Fund):
Venture capital has always been focused around startups but it’s funny to think that most of the time, it’s simply never about the idea or the market for that matter especially when it comes to early stage investing but more towards the people and their ability to execute which is determined by their credibility and trust. Hustle Hoard is a crowdfunding platform that assists entrepreneurs with raising capital as an individual, through a personal holdings company rather than with an entity. This would also derisk early stage investors and help entrepreneurs not limit themselves to just one idea as investors will be investing to the individual rather than the idea. Inspired by
Pawpy (Telehealth for Pets):
This is something that I hold dear to my heart as it’s from my personal experience where there are certain behaviour and traits which can be solve if only I have access to certified veterinarians who could provide me with quick feedback on lifestyle changes which I would have to adapt for my pet. This could then be further improve through patient management system, pharmaceutical supply chain integration and pet insurance to create a pet wellness super app for pet owners. Inspired by and .
The Everything Index (Alternative Asset Class Index Tracker):
Collectable items are rapidly growing with the popularisation with NFTs as investment products. However, trying to find out an accurate estimated value has been quite difficult. Firstly, there aren’t any market standards to price a specific market item. In addition, there are multiple marketplaces and auction platforms that sells similar products at different value without a single consolidated source of data to refer too. What if we are able to create a Index say for pokemon card collectables? Now you would be able to track the top 100-500 collectables price compared to yours or even better a consolidated database of all collectable last transaction. Inspired by and .
Demebo (Decentralised Media Board):
The goal is to onboard web3 designers into the platform to create their portfolio stored using decentralised storage. It not only help promote artist work but also create a database of web3 art that might not be seen in marketplaces. Validation with web3 designers would be an issue together with convincing them them on how to use the platform. Technical challenges will come in the form of user onboarding since existing competition is quite simple to adopt though usually charged. Some key insights are how top projects artist are not credited for their work compared to project owners (Seneca from Yuga Labs). There’s also no dedicated platform to commission specifically web3 work since platforms like Fiverr have designers that reject web3 commission. A quick prototype would be connecting a simple user dashboard that allows uploading of portfolio and connect to NFT.Storage while automatically creating a gallery for users to share a unique link to their profile page.
The Referral Network (Web3 Recruiting Platform):
Aim is to integrate web3 tech into a referral-based recruitment platform. Users refer job candidates and earn blockchain-validated rewards if referrals get hired. Major challenges are trust-building, user onboarding, and competition from platforms like LinkedIn. No platform currently exists that uses blockchain for recruitment referrals. Key insights include under-recognition of effective professional connectors and traditional platforms' resistance to web3 tech. A prototype would involve creating a user dashboard for referral entries and tracking, connecting to a blockchain network, and generating unique user profile links to showcase their referral contributions.
Find X Ventures (AI for M&A):
The objective is to use AI technology to streamline the M&A process within our own brokering firm. The AI will intelligently match potential buyers with businesses facing succession challenges, significantly accelerating the process. Key challenges involve creating a user-friendly yet potent AI system and standing out against traditional M&A brokers. While there isn't specific data on businesses lacking successors, various sources highlight the ageing population and succession issues in countries like Japan, potentially leading to many SMEs facing closure. This insight drives the demand for efficient M&A solutions. A preliminary system could include an AI-powered dashboard showcasing curated matches, with features to monitor each deal's progression.
ChatDoc (AI Document Search Engine for Lawyers):
The aim is to deploy GPT AI in a chat-based document search engine tailored for lawyers, designed to swiftly locate the best related legal precedents. This cuts down the hours lawyers typically spend per engagement on such searches, freeing them for higher-value work. The challenges involve ensuring the AI's accuracy and reliability, designing an intuitive interface, and standing out amidst traditional legal search engines. No AI chat-based search engine exists today focused on legal precedents. Notably, lawyers spend substantial time searching for precedents, indicating a need for more efficient solutions. A prototype could feature a user-friendly chat interface with GPT AI integration, optimising legal precedent search for legal professionals.
