Day 49: JFDI.Asia CEO Hugh Mason continues his video log of the JFDI-Innov8 Bootcamp 2012. Today: Yes, like Y-combinator, JFDI would accept a strong team with no specific idea, how startup team QRyo found its focus and why “Technology Transfer” is never easy.

The first time I laid eyes on that Y Combinator news title, I told myself, that makes a lot of sense. I do think that initial ideas do get revised over and over during programs like ours. And I wished that there was a company in JFDI that is exactly that.
Little did I know that we were that company, and realized, yeah, when we came in here, we only came here like with our clothes on our back and really nothing more to offer. I guess it is easier to paint great ideas in blank canvasses. Easier, but of course it doesn’t always mean it’s better.
