【Lesson #1 - On picking co-founders】
Co-founder disputes are often the crux of any startup failure. You’ll likely be constantly relying on each other for tactical and emotional support for the better half of 10 years. That’s why picking the right one is paramount in building a successful startup. To help share some insights on this topic, I spoke with Alan Chan, the Co-founder and CEO of Omnichat (AW#16), an HK-based company that provides a chatbot plugin for e-commerce sites to automate marketing and improve customer conversions. Looking back on his excruciating decision to replace a co-founder previously, Alan shares his thoughts on what you should look for when seeking out a co-founder and how to properly vet for commitment and establish trust from the get-go.

I started my company in early 2017 and released the MVP shortly thereafter. I handled all the BD efforts in the beginning, cold calling hundreds of what we in Hong Kong call “upstairs” stores (boutique retail shops located in high rise buildings) to test out my product, until I eventually got 200 users onboard. Despite the fact that the initial version was filled with bugs, 20% of the users still came back every month to use our product. So, I thought it was the right time to find a co-founder to accelerate our BD efforts and overall handle the business side of things while I hunkered down on the product.
I chose my best friend of 20 years as my first co-founder. But it ultimately didn’t work out. It was probably around the time of when we joined AppWorks Accelerator #16 in March 2018 where we kept butting heads and it became evident that our expectations for the business and overall commitment were misaligned. Ending our working relationship was one of the most difficult decisions that I’ve had to make in my life. In retrospect, I missed some things. I was the one who convinced him to quit his job, but I also failed to adequately evaluate whether or not he’d be suitable for the startup lifestyle and the commitment that he was willing to make. It’s not normal work that we do; we don’t have set hours or a salary, and we need to grow very fast and constantly go knocking on people’s doors for money or business while failing a thousand times in the process.
Being a founder can be incredibly frustrating and disheartening for anyone without a strong resolve. I was of course quite naive back then. I had already generated some traction and painted a very rosy picture. I thought it would be easy to scale up once we got some investor money—little did I know haha. But at the end of the day, even beyond complementary skill sets, the most important thing between co-founders is trust. It’s better to have some sort of working relationship before, as only then will you see how they behave under stress and react to criticism and setbacks. If you don’t have a prior working relationship, then go through some sort of trial period or co-work on a few projects to properly understand each other’s working and communication styles. Just like in dating, you’ll need to go on a few dates to properly align on a few fundamental things such as shared values, interests, and commitment before tying the knot.
Applications for AW#22 are now open to founders targeting SEA, AI/IoT, or Blockchain/Defi -> https://bit.ly/2Jy1br8

Scam 101
This year, 2020, it has been a tough and challenging year for all of us because of Covid19 crisis. Each of us is impacted in some ways. We need to understand that we all face the same storm, but we all are not on the same boat.
Some might have a better advantage than the others and some may struggle to survive. Covid19 has led to a dramatic loss of human lives, health, food systems and the world of work worldwide. The economic and social disruption is worrying.
This difficult times has shown us how fragile life is and one of the main things in life that we need to survive, unfortunately, is having money. All of us need money to provide the necessities to live.
During these rough times, many unethical parties are also waiting to take advantage of unsuspecting individuals who also need money. This parties we called scammers. They capitalise on people's hardship and fears to manipulate other vulnerable people.
Be aware that scammers are also sophisticated with their tactics and have many types of schemes and businesses that they disguised to look legitimate and interesting, but their motive is to swindle your hard-earned money and take advantage of your situation. Once they get what they want, they will vanish.
This is crucial, I urge my family, friends and followers to be more vigilant when making business and investments decisions to not fall into their lies and fake promises.
How to detect this unscrupulous parties
❗Always do your research first hand (information is everywhere, check thoroughly) and don't quickly jump into the bandwagon even if everyone around you is doing it
❗Investment with guaranteed profit (this is a red flag - no such thing as guaranteed, if yes, this is a very dangerous business and potentially a fake one)
❗Too good to be true business model and promises (be realistic)
❗Business or investment that lures you to join and give you 'offer of a lifetime or limited time'
❗Huge returns or profits (even better than the financial institutions? - doesn't make sense)
❗Pyramid schemes, based on enrolments/recruit people - people are the product (if they are pushing this agenda, you know you are the product = scam)
❗MLM business that is a cover-up illegal pyramid scheme (they said they are MLM and legal) - please check this difference in their business model
❗Brands that source for brand ambassadors and said everything is free, but have to pay for the shipping fee (which cost a lot) at the end and sometime unreasonable commission schemes (this is becoming more
and more, beware influencers)
❗Macau Scam - impersonate authorities/trusted officials to get a large sum of money (please check this carefully when you get any phone calls)
❗Love Scam - contact you with fake profiles (too good to be true profile), praise, engaged and try to strike a relationship with you, before they commit fraud in the end)
❗Many more - debt collection, settlement, relief, mortgage, imposter, oil scam, apps scam, religious and charity scam, social media and online business scam, grandparents scam, lottery or prize scams, wire or money transfer fraud and more - stay vigilant
Ways to avoid being scammed
✅Always deal with individuals, entities that are registered, licensed or trustworthy (depends on the type of business, check with the relevant authorities/parties) - do your background check
✅Ask questions and request for important information. They shouldn't be easily triggered and emotional
✅Check with relevant authorities before investing or depositing any monies even it is a small amount
✅Don't be pressured or rushed by anyone. Find time to do your research when you want to get yourself into something
✅Be sceptical if there's no proper documentation in writing and if you are not certain with the legality
✅Beware of investments and making money opportunity over the internet. This is their playground
✅Secure your personal information. Don't leak them to untrusted parties
✅Keep copies of all documents or writings when you agree with any parties
I have seen so many individuals and groups of people around me that have been scammed and in businesses that are scamming people.
Let us all exercise extreme caution when being offered something lucrative and being promised heavens on earth. If someone is promising you quick and so much money (rich), no risk, and everything seems perfect/too good to be true, please be careful. Just remember, the faster and easy you get something better, the faster and easy you get something worse.
Report and file a complaint to relevant authorities if you know any scammers or has been a victim of scams.
Protect yourself from being a victim of a scam. It's better to have little or enough money but it belongs to us than having a lot of money that isn't ours, taking from unfortunate people and scamming people for a living. Remember this.

Chinese Fried Rice is a simple and yet difficult to master dish but once you get the hang of it, you can fry this super yummy easy meal anytime.
This is our Din Tai Fung inspired Shrimp Fried Rice. In case you haven't heard about Din Tai Fung, it is a chain of restaurants originating in Taiwan. Back in 1993, New York Times ranked them as the Top 10 Best Restaurants in the World. In 2010, the restaurant's first branch in Hong Kong at Tsim Sha Tsui was awarded one Michellin star and their second branch at Causeway Bay was also recommended by Michellin Guide. Although Din Tai Fung is known to specialise in xiao long bao (Chinese steamed dumplings), their egg fried rice with pork chop is also really popular amongst diners. Of course that includes us :). We actually stood outside DTF kitchen to figure out what ingredients were used. Opps - I hope we won’t be banned from Din Tai Fung because that’d be tragic. Whenever we dine at Din Tai Fung, fried rice is one of our must-order dishes but instead of ordering shrimp fried rice, we always go for their pork chop fried rice. OMG so good! I'll get Roland to show you how to prepare their pork chop next time.
Many different cuisines such as Indonesian, Malay, Japanese, Thai etc today all have their own version of fried rice but did you know that fried rice was actually first developed during the Sui Dynasty in China? This means that all variety of fried rice available in the market today can actually trace their origins back to Chinese Fried Rice.
Sorry I digressed...Back to this recipe - if you don't like prawns, please feel free to omit it.

Allen Iverson showed he is about more than scoring.
Iverson recorded his first career triple-double, collecting 30 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds as the Philadelphia 76ers coasted to a 116-92 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers.
The NBA's reigning Most Valuable Player, Iverson has always been known for his scoring. But he was an all-around player Monday, making 10-of-22 shots from the field and helping the Sixers post their best offensive output of the season.
"I know it's a great accomplishment, but it's a team accomplishment," Iverson said. "Without teammates, you can't get a triple-double. They did a great job finishing, they did a great job of getting me the ball to get the points, and they did a great job of boxing out. Guys my size don't get a bunch of rebounds. It was a total team effort. Without them, this wouldn't be possible."
"Allen had a phenomenal all around game," Sixers coach Larry Brown said.
Matt Harpring added 19 points and Dikembe Mutombo 16 and 12 rebounds for the Sixers, who opened a 53-38 lead at haltime and cruised the rest of the way.
Philadelphia, which was returning home following a 3-4 road trip, has won three of its last four games.
"I was concerned about this game because I thought we would be tired," Brown said. "That is why we did not have a shootaround. We started out with such life. I think when you start out and it is too easy, it is very difficult if a team comes back at you. We handled it extremely well."
Quentin Richardson netted 21 points to lead the Clippers, who were playing the opener of a six-game road trip.
Los Angeles coach Alvin Gentry was ejected in the fourth quarter after picking up two technical fouls.
"We just didn't play well, that's the bottom line," Gentry said. "This was one of the few games that I don't think we competed hard. I didn't like our effort at the start and that's important.
"In general, we we've played hard almost every single game we walked out there. I just think that if you're going to beat a team like Philadelphia, you've got to get at it right away and I didn't think we did that. That's the disappointing thing."
Starting to look more and more like the defending Eastern Conference champions, Philadelphia controlled things virtually the entire way against the upstart Clippers.
Corey Maggette scored the game's opening basket, but that was the Clippers' only lead of the night. Iverson had nine points by the end of the first quarter, helping the Sixers to a 26-16 advantage.
A layup by Darius Miles pulled the Clippers within 36-33 with 4:52 left in the half, but that was as close as they would get.
Derrick Coleman, who scored 13 points, hit a short jumper and Harpring and Iverson made two free throws apiece, triggering a 17-5 burst that gave Philadelphia a 53-38 cushion at the half.
Philadelphia led by at least 15 points the entire second half.
Iverson scored 13 points and Coleman and Harpring each added 11 in the opening 24 minutes.
"We know where the top teams are in the standings and we're going to be at the top by the All-Star game," said Iverson, whose team has a 15-19 record. "We got to get that respect back in us to the point where people come in here and have a doubt in their mind. People aren't as scared of us as they used to be. If we start beating people, they'll get scared again."
The only thing in doubt in the second half was Iverson's triple-double. He collected his 10th assist midway through the fourth quarter on a 3-pointer by Aaron Mckie before reaching double figures in rebounds seconds later.
McKie added 14 points for the Sixers, who shot 52 percent (48-of-93) and held a 54-49 rebounding advantage.
Maggette added 16 points and Lamar Odom 13 for Los Angeles, which shot just 35 percent (31-of-89).

This uber pretty and magical Disney's FROZEN winter wonderland let's you (literally) whip up the cutest cupcakes, macarons and a big two tier cake! ^.^
Subscribble ♥ http://bit.ly/1tZ3Khi
Loose yourself into this Winter Wonderland of sweets that just look too good to be true, because, well they are! You may not be able to eat them but at least they last forever. Let me show you they're made!
Let's Start!
This super pretty Frozen box filled with even sparklier stuff to help us decorate Frozen themed macarons, cupcakes and a two tier cake. The amazing thing is that you can use these sweets as a jewellery box or container when you're finished. We will set soft, fluffy whipping cream in the spotlight! Let's take a look inside! Aah, too cute to handle! Alright, let's get everything out! Wow, there's a lot more in there than I expected! Well, that's awesome!!
For the star of these winter sweets, the two tier cake there's, a bottom and top cake. Competitive in cuteness are definitely the macarons which we'll turn into two pretty key hangers! The blue Macaron pictures Elsa and the pink one is Anna themed. In a small sachet we've got pearls and crystals, safely packed away. While the pearls and crystals are responsible for the sparkly look, they're quiet limited so I'll take an extra effort to keep them clean and organised by handling them with a a pair of tweezers, gently placing the pearls I use kitchen paper with rough texture to keep small parts from material from rolling around.
This pastry is a small container in disguise and we're lucky enough to have pretty violet twin. Both come with two domes which are super important and you'll soon find out why! But the most important item of all is the whipping cream, which makes for the magical cuteness of these sweets!
(transition with sparkle sound)
Before we start let's pop out the images with which we will decorate the whipping cream. One motif seems to be missing, but luckily there is such a great variety that it allows you to be picky and only choose your most favourite ones.
Here you also see long strips with a scooped silhouette which are specifically for the two tier cake.
All let's see...yep we're all good and ready to start!
♡ ♡ ♡ Let's create a magical sweets winter wonderland ♡ ♡ ♡
I'll remove the lock from the whipping bag and soften the crafting cream by kneading with my hands until i finsih Counting to 100. Utilising some pressure I use a ruler to push mass towards the opening and tightly close the empty part of the bag.
We'll make the cupcakes first, so exchange the regular cap with the large star cap.
The target is to make the most perfect of whipping swirls. If you get the swirls right, the rest is no big deal. Glue a dome in the very centre of each cupcake. This is to support the swirl shape. Keep your hands relaxed and quickly move in circular motions. Oh, the cupcake moved. If you mess up you can wipe it away while the craft creme is still wet.
As you see craft creme looks and behaves like the real thing but dries on air within a few hours. When decorating with pearls there is no need to use pressure as this would immediately get the soft whip out of shape. I gently place the decoration where I want it to be and let it air dry.
(sparkle transition)
From this point on it'll get more difficult as we change to the small star cap! Let's Go ☆
Let's top the the edges of one macaron with whipping cream but leave the top part empty so we can close the macaron at an approximately 20 degree angle. The finished macarons will look like this.
Now on to the biggest part of this set, the amazing two tier ice cake which we'll load with lots of whipping cream to create it's magical castle like appearance. One neatly centred large swirl in the middle of the top cake, surrounded by a sequence of swirls alternating between single and double swirls. Don't worry too much about where to place the pearls as pretty shiny things will look pretty and shiny wherever they are them! *^-^*
I push the cake in a single folded deco strip and voila the top cake is all topped!
The bottom cake needs 6 big double swirls and a small single swirl between each double swirl. While still wet I'll place the top cake on the lid of the bottom cake so that they can dry and stabilise together. I enclose the bottom cake's base using two deco strips and cover the scooped borders with closely spaced droplets of whip. I go for snowflakes because, well, I don't know about you but they kinda remind of sugar . I'll hold the motif gently them onto the cream until they're stuck. As we're finished decorating, we can finally combine all parts together and voila we've built a sweet winter wonderland!
