			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What is a startup? For those of you who don&#8217;t know, Wikipedia has a fairly <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Startup_company">good explanation</a>. I like <a href="http://paulgraham.com">Paul Graham</a>&#8217;s definition better: <strong>startup</strong> is a group of people that tackles on difficult technology problem.</p>
<p><a href="http://google.com">Google</a> is once a startup. So are <a href="http://yahoo.com">Yahoo</a>, <a href="http://facebook.com">Facebook</a>, <a href="http://youtube.com">YouTube</a>, <a href="http://del.icio.us">Del.icio.us</a>, <a href="http://flickr.com">Flickr</a>, <a href="http://blogger.com">Blogspot</a> and more. They all started with only ideas, and ended up changing the web forever.</p>

<p>There are a few things we will try to do with this newly launched site:</p>
<p>- <strong>Resources</strong>. Become a one stop resources for startups, and startups wanna-be. Because I simply couldn&#8217;t find a useful one in Malaysian context.</p>
<p>- <strong>Malaysia Startups Stories</strong>. Features success / failure stories of Malaysia startups. The rule of thumb is 50% of startups failed, but I believe it should be more. For every success of failures, we could learn something.</p>
<p>- <strong>Interviews</strong>. There are no better brain to tap than the people that walked the path. We will interview the founders, CEOs, founding employees of startups.</p>
<p>-  <strong>Profiles</strong>. Something like what Michael Arrington is doing in Techcrunch. Except, this is the Malaysia version.</p>
<p>- <strong>Events</strong>. The guys at <a href="http://ideapreneur.net">ideapreneur</a> are doing such a fine job of getting the like-minded people together. We hope to cooperate with them.</p>
<p>- <strong>More</strong>. We will figure out more along the journey.</p>
<p>Stay tuned.</p>
