Web Funters : See the innovation as an opportunity – Not a threat!

December 18, 2008 1:20 am 10 comments

Innovation is the definite device of entrepreneurship. The action that empowers resources with a creative ability to create wealth. The vision of the Web Funters. – http://www.webfunters.com/ is established on the same rationale by two young entrepreneurs Mohib uddin and Aly Abdullah; both 19. Mohib is a practiced Copywriter, Blogger, Internet Marketer, Communications Specialist and a self-made entrepreneur. So far, his goal is to reach high revenues by the end of his first year on their enterprise venture Web Funters, which is by winter of 2009. Mohib was a Media Sciences student at a reputable university but his erratic behaviour and destructive lifestyle soon got him turfed out. He laid waste to the varsity’s conference rooms, the classrooms, and even common corridors, tossing things out of the place. Aly’s expertise covers Search Engine Marketing, Blog Integration and Website Development. He has been a thriving freelancer as well as an industrious entrepreneur. Aly’s persona is designed to be consistent, efficient and studious. He’s currently doing BS in Public Administration from the University of Karachi, Department of Public Administration.

The company is aiming to inject fun into producing juicy web portals and ventures. They are seeking finance to mass produce their ideas and have been visiting entrepreneurship technology conferences to gain some local exposure.

Nearly half a dozen “Funter” web products are under-construction or planned. A few of their accomplished products include:

  • Hmm is this article an advertisement or a carefully written press release or just an endorsement by G&W?

  • UJMi – Ali has a right to like the company and do a positive review doesnt he?

    Although – I dont understand the title though… “See innovation as an opportunity, not a threat”.

    I dont know who looks at it as a threat

  • Osama – Sure, he does have every right. I just shared what I thought this piece looked like.

  • I would love if this post had direct links to their websites.

  • The senior workforce looks innovation as a threat. Be wise Mr.Osama :D

  • Haven’t you been ever smacked by your oldie immediate boss lolz :P

  • Ali! Are they, Funters, your friends?

  • Ali Raza!!! Aren’t you? Thaakur say ghaddari bohut mehangi paregi lolz…

    Just kidding buddy… Be well!

  • Jahangir Khan

    First of all this looks like a lethargic shot at a very lame marketing stunt, secondly i reviewed the websites listed as their Innovative projects, i did’nt see anything innovative about them these are outdated or already tried and tested stuff on the internet, you can find i think around a million websites about these same businesses, and the term “injecting fun” is extremely vague and general, what sort of FUN will they be injecting leaves a lot of queries, and yes last but not least, how much did they pay you to post such a diamond and gem stitched post!

    Business Incubation: False Hopes and Shattered Dreams…

    When a 19th century romantic French writer by the name of Victor Hugo said “Nothing is as powerful as an idea whose time has come” he obviously could not envision Pakistani bureaucracy. Not only can it reduce an idea to nothing more than its meager skeletal remains squirming in its own vile, it too often does.

    Home & Cars Expo 2012

    The past whole week I was really excited about going to the exhibition on 5th and 6th at expo center Lahore since the theme read “home expo and super car expo”. I was counting on seeing some innovative home solutions, fancy cars and a lot of appliances for both. As I entered the arena, an ear piercing heavy bike engine race greeted me. Oh wow nice, we have bikes here too… and lots of them, but let’s see if we have the actual products that are expected.

    First cars!! Honda Launched its new City Aspire at the event. This attracted a lot of young crowd who wanted to check it…

    Football. The most popular sport in the world. That may be hard to believe, we being a die-hard cricket nation, but there are many amongst us who get their blood pumping whenever our favorite team kicks some balls (pun intended).  There’s excitement in the air, and the airwaves for that matter, when Spanish rivals Real Madrid and Barcelona are about to have a face-off on the field. Manchester United or Chelsea? The answer could incite either jeers or cheers, depending on who you’re surrounded by. It feels like you belong to an exclusive club really, not to mention how convenient it is to…

    Another SHAM ICT Funding Project

    There are two main things that are currently causing out growth in ICT to stall. One is the lack of original ideas, so most of the entrepreneurs either copy what is already around internationally or locally (same ideas of online shopping, online bidding) we still have not hit the jackpot with someone creating some thing like instagram or drawsomething and being acquired by one of the big names.

    The second issue always lamented by entrepreneurs is lack of any funding sources in Pakistan. Over the years we have seen efforts being made to create funds which would help but what ended happening that most of these funds either did…

    8th Layer of Networking

    We all know about the 7 layers of the OSI model. This is the framework by which computer networks are defined. Starting with the physical layer, going through the transport layer and finally culminating in the application layer where end user applications reside. I believe that this should be redefined to include and additional layer – the Social Layer. From the current vantage point, the Social Layer lies right above the Application layer – hence it is served by the Application layer.

    The 90s witnessed a boom in what is now referred to as web 1.0. This consisted of static applications hosted over the web. Static applications meant that…

    Thiel Fellowship: right idea, wrong approach

    I wanted to discuss the Thiel Fellowship and sort of run the idea among our readership to figure out if it was justified or not. Bay Area hedge fund manager Peter Thiel started a Fellowship program in his name about a year ago trying to capitalize not on start ups, but the smart kids who may actually come up with the next billion dollar idea.

    Let there be no mistake. Innovation solves problems. Bankers, lawyers and hot shot executives are good for only one thing: managing an existing infrastructure. It is the innovators who turn existing ideas on to their heads and enable breakthroughs. Considering the point above, it…
