Innovation
Moonshot.
Five days. One breakthrough idea. Zero fluff. A first-of-its-kind co-branded program where participants innovate, brainstorm, and build their own idea — guided by Mike Ghasemi, live, start to finish.
Moonshot
OF ITS
KIND
You don't just learn innovation. You do it — live, for five days.
Most courses teach frameworks. This one hands you a real idea by the end — validated, prototyped, pitched. Every day pairs one 60-minute live session with Mike Ghasemi with one hands-on activity you complete the same day. By Friday night, you have a prototype, a pitch, a certificate, and real prize stakes on the table.

Taught by the innovator who's built, broken, and rebuilt ideas across Southeast Asia.
Mike Ghasemi is the founder of MG Research, a Malaysia-headquartered innovation and advisory firm trusted by founders, SMEs, and enterprises across the region. He's spent his career helping teams turn raw observations into real, shippable products — and now he's bringing that method to you, live, for five days.
Five days. Five shifts. One new innovator.
The arc follows how real innovators work — not how textbooks teach. Each day unlocks a new identity: SEE → SOLVE → SHAPE → SHIP → SELL.
The Innovator's Eye
Most big ideas die at the observation stage. Mike teaches his signature Friction Log method — how to rewire your mind to see what 99% of people ignore. Real stories from the trenches. Zero theory.
The Problem Worth Solving
90% of innovation projects die solving the wrong problem. Today you learn Mike's 5-Why Laddering and Problem Sharpening Framework — the exact tools he uses with founders and Fortune 500 teams.
Solutions Are Made, Not Found
You've got a problem. Now you need an answer. Mike's 10-10-10 Ideation Method cracks creative block, then his Solution Sharpening turns rough ideas into something real people would use, pay for, and love.
Ship Ugly. Ship Early. Ship Now.
The session students remember forever. Mike shows real first versions of now-famous products — intentionally crude, often hilarious. You learn the difference between a demo, a mockup, and a prototype — and how to build any of them in under an hour.
The Pitch That Lands
Most pitches fail in the first 12 seconds. Mike's 3-Minute Pitch Framework — Hook, Pain, Promise, Proof, Ask — has been used by founders raising seed rounds across Southeast Asia. Today you deliver yours live. To Mike. To a panel. To your cohort.
The playbooks of companies you already admire, deconstructed live.
Mike walks you through the real decisions behind the products you use every day — what they saw, what they solved, what they shipped. Pattern-match your own idea against the best.
