Bend the rules of conventional business!

Ideas, lessons and case studies based on experiments with Agile Entrepreneurship.

What is Agile Entrepreneurship?

April 22nd, 2008 by Vishen Read more about Talent

Perhaps you’ve heard it all before.

Perhaps you know about the need for “agility” or “adaptability” from the realms of personal development, software development, manufacturing, or management.

After all, when you can no longer plan, predict, and control everything in your business environment, you may choose to mutate quickly, adapt, and dominate.

That’s sums up Agile Entrepreneurship in a way, but let’s face it.

Nobody wants to be “agile” for the sake of being agile.

I doubt you’re interested in becoming “agile” for agility sake.

Especially if you’re more interested in growing a business.

We were exactly like that when we first started out 4 years ago. All we cared about was getting our product out, and getting money in.

However, we also had a burning desire to

  • Achieve more
  • Succeed sooner
  • Have more fun and excitement at work

Perhaps you’re interested in that, too.

For us, we wanted it so badly, we tried a couple of crazy ideas and made a pile of mistakes. We were forced to transform our company countless times just to keep growing.

Along the way, we had to use the very best management and marketing tactics (including a wild card or two) to get ahead.

We had to bend the rules of business.

Today, we’re a profitable, award-winning, privately funded internet business incubator. We grow e-commerce businesses. We grow social web applications. With 10 concurrent ventures, and one new venture every months, some of our ventures make up to $1 million in revenue a year, some have just only begun.

More importantly, we grow entrepreneurs.

We’ve got (at the time of writing) a team of 22 of the bright minds from 16 countries in the same room. We’re also awarded “—–”.

Are we based in the Silicon Valley? No way.

We do all of this from a bungalow in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (a stone’s throw from some the world’s most exotic vacation spots) and have scholars and entrepreneurs visit us, and come work with us, just to see how we do what we do.

We call ourselves MindValley.
