I've posted this in another thread but i feel it is also appropriate here. So i will do what a programmers does best ...copy&paste ;)

I would like to add on to the suggestions
  • All universities grants their lecturers a sabbatical leave where they can get attached to other universities for sake of knowledge acquisition. Maybe magic or some government agency can introduce same concept where the founders or key personnel in a start up can get attached in a more established company to gain insightful technical knowledge. As we know there just certain things that are not taught in schools eg proper git management, A/B testing, scrum, etc. These practical technical knowledge is what a lot of start ups are facing.
  • Cradle, MDEC, etc already provides a lot of business coaching but nobody is providing the technical coaching. I believe in order to be successful you need to be able to balance the two. I'm sure we have seen a lot of tech start up that have shown good potential but could not get there because their technical skills are just not good enough.
  • e.g. My company is good with mobile development but we lack skills in game development. So I would like to send my people over to intern at a game development company. That game developer might be good in their field but lack skills in mobile. I would gladly accept their people and teach them mobile development. I'm sure you catch my drift ;)
I agree with Azrul but i also feel that most start ups lack the strong technical knowledge to even come up wt a solid MVP.
Even their technical domain knowledge is not up to par.
