Good day everyone!
We're meeting at Padi Malaya, Gourmet Street, Ground Floor, G 12b, Lalaport, BBCC as usual but I'm shaking things up a bit instead of the usual chill and mix.
The Experiment Lab | Experiment 00: What Should We Build Together in 2027?
Our monthly entrepreneurs meetup is changing. From January 2027 it becomes The Experiment Lab : a monthly full day where entrepreneurs, and corporate teams build something real together, with nothing to do with anyone's business. It is a place to take risks, try new things and get it wrong safely. Mistakes are data, not failures.
This December session is where it starts. Together we will decide what the first cohort builds, and how the Lab should run, including what it should cost.

How 2027 works
Two five-month cohorts: January to May, and June to November
20 places per cohort, in 4 teams of 5 pax
One full day a month, 10:00am to 5:00pm
Each team runs its own project that plugs into one shared big project, shown at a showcase at the end of the cohort
Teams find their own resources for their projects
Experiment Lab fees should cover refreshments, basic materials and running costs. Digital Nomads who leave Malaysia can keep working with their team remotely.
What you get: a creative thinking tool each month with a template to take home, a leadership role in your team, showcase credit, a case study for your portfolio, and an alumni circle across cohorts.
Bring: curiosity, one problem you wish someone would fix, and a friend who makes things.Register: I'm limiting seats to 20 pax instead of 50 pax so make sure you attend if you RSVP yes or you'll be blacklistedWhat we leave with on the night: a shortlist of big project ideas for Cohort 1, first ideas for how groups could plug in, a list of who wants in, and the date for Experiment 01 in January.
## Who should attend
Anyone who wants to make something real with strangers, and is willing to be bad at it first.
Regulars of the monthly meetup. You are the core. Your ideas shape the first cohort.Entrepreneurs and freelancers in Malaysia, including digital nomads. Come even if you leave soon. Your idea can still seed a project.People with skills to lend. Designers, writers, builders, organisers, teachers, artists. Projects will need hands, not just ideas.
Corporate staff will be invited to join from January 2027.
## What to expect
A hands-on, facilitated evening. You will talk, sketch, vote and probably change your mind.
No pitching, no business talk. The project must have nothing to do with anyone's company.Wild ideas welcome. We go wide first, then narrow down. Nobody is judged for a strange idea.Small groups. You will work in tables of 5 (the group size we use in 2027), mixed on purpose: nomads, locals, entrepreneurs, employees.Simple tools. Sticky notes, markers, dot votes. No laptops needed.A decision by the end. We leave with a shortlist, not a long wish list.Zero obligation. Signing up for the project is optional and you can drop out anytime.
Bring: curiosity, one problem in KL or in your life you wish someone would fix, and a friend who makes things.
