Day One Focus: Intellectual Property Foundations and Technology Roadmap
On the first day (December 1), the opening session was led by Puja Pramudya, CEO of Radya Labs and Alkademi, who presented on the topic "IP-based Digital Startup." In his presentation, Puja emphasized the importance of defining Intellectual Property (IP) as a key asset for digital startups.
"Startups aren't just about burning cash for growth, but also about building strong IP assets. With clear IP, startups can prepare their products to be bankable, or eligible for bank financing, and have a sustainable scaling strategy," Puja said.
Completing the technical material, the second session was moderated by Rudi Hartono, CEO of Radya Digital, on the topic "Technology Roadmap Plan." Rudi dissected common mistakes often made by startup founders in designing their technology architecture, providing guidance for participants on building efficient infrastructure from the start.

Entering the second day (December 2nd), the Startup Lab focused on business validation and communication skills. The third session featured Raissa Alamanda, Entrepreneurship & Incubation Section Head at Binus International, with a presentation on "Business Model Generation." Raissa encouraged participants to revisit the essence of business in the new age of businesses, which prioritizes empathy. She guided participants in developing a Business Model Canvas that was relevant to current market needs.
To conclude the coaching series, Amir Karimuddin, Director and Editor-in-Chief of DailySocial.id, presented a session titled "The Art of Storytelling & Business Pitching."
