"Embarking on an Unforgettable Journey 🌟 On the 29th - 31st of November, Aphelia proudly represented Malaysia at the Startup World Cup Grand Finale in San Francisco—the world's largest startup competition. Standing alongside 40+ exceptional startup founders from a pool of over 10,000 applicants worldwide was an absolute honor. The caliber of talent was awe-inspiring, showcasing the pinnacle of innovation. In a unique twist, Aphelia emerged as the sole Space Startup at this prestigious event, adding a distinctive touch to the vibrant entrepreneurial landscape. The experience was further enriched by the insights shared by world-class speakers, including luminaries such as Vinod Khosla, Ira Ehrenpreis, Barbara Corcoran, John Saw, and many others. Though we reached the semi-finals, the journey itself was an invaluable opportunity. The lessons learned and insights gained will undoubtedly contribute to the growth of our journey ahead. A heartfelt thank you to our sponsors— Sunway iLabs, Cradle Fund, Uzma Group, Maxis & Hong Leong Group. Without their unwavering support, this incredible journey would not have been possible. Special appreciation goes out to Syafiq haiqal, Melissa Foo, Brendan Beh, and Matthijs (Matt) van Leeuwen from Sunway iLabs, Noraisyah N from Cradle, and Dato' Kamarul Muhamed' Kamarul from UZMA Group. Their guidance was instrumental to making it happened. A sincere shout-out to Bill Reichert and Deborah Magid for their gracious words and support post-event. Your encouragement fuels our determination to reach new heights.
