What’s the Story Morning Glory?

A graduate of Michigan State University with a bachelors in Computer Engineering, Keng Yew made an exit from a PhD program in 2003 to join a Silicon Valley startup (eXS Inc). Kengyew has 5 years working experience with multiple Silicon Valley startups, developing high-tech telecommunications products. Working with eXS, Kengyew has experienced first-hand, starting a company with nothing but an idea, through seed-funding, to commercial deployment with a solid product.

In mid 2008 Kengyew returned to Malaysia to start up Socialwalk. The idea behind Socialwalk is to transform conferences & business events into lasting communities. Use the Socialwalk platform to facilitate networking and B2B business matching among guests and attendees. Socialwalk also provides an easy to use web-based interface (SAAS) to do online registration and ticketing. Socialwalk was awarded a RM150K pre-seed grant by MDEC to develop and launch this software. By 2010, Socialwalk has won numerous awards including Singtel’s Top 50 Apps in Asia and has been featured on global technology news sites such as Techcrunch and Mashable. Their current client list includes  events by TEDxKuala Lumpur, TiE Asia Pacific Conference 09, Barcamp, Bursa Malaysia, and more. Find out more in www.socialwalk.com
