Kureno Introduction
Kureno was founded in September 2007 by Iwani Khalid and Aizu Ikmal. Aizu and Iwani have been friends for awhile and have had plans to create their very own web applications and that September, they came up with an idea for a new-age discussion platform called Roundtabl.es together with Syakir Khalid and Nadiah Sulaiman.
From September until November, they were busy drafting the application specs for Roundtabl.es and refining the functionalities. However, due to certain circumstances, Aizu had to leave the team and Roundtabl.es was put on hold. On November 26th 2007, Iwani invited Hadihaizil Din, whom she has been friends with for a long long time to replace Aizu as the Lead Developer. They started working on their first Kureno’s mini app called kurenoUp which originated from Iwani’s idea called Kureno pixxUp. Despite the almost 90% completion of its development, they haven’t decided whether to launch it or not as kurenoUp requires massive server storage and bandwith and may not be a good 1st product launch for Kureno
In early 2008, they started working on Roundtabl.es again and applied for MDeC Tech Pre-Seed in March 2008. The team met up personally with CEO of Cradle, Mr Nazrin to seek for advice and feedback about their application, Roundtabl.es. However, they didn’t make to the 2nd stage of the Pre-Seed interview and again, Roundtabl.es and Kureno were left abandoned
Fast forward to May 2009, after months of idle activities in the Kureno HQ, they are back again and this time, they are truly kicking off a good start for Kureno. They are launching their first product called JomTwit which is part of our 3 Jom application series. There will be 2 more Jom applications coming up in the near future and hopefully, many many other great applications after!
