This document summarizes a presentation given by Budi Rahardjo at Pesantren Startup 2019 in Bandung about technology-based startups. Rahardjo is a founder and lecturer focused on areas like VLSI, security, social media, IoT, AI and big data. He argues that now is the ideal time to start a tech-based startup given that we live in a tech-ready environment surrounded by technology schools, and technology companies have high market value. However, challenges include difficulties finding qualified human resources and needing to create new markets and ecosystems while educating people. Rahardjo asks if attendees are ready to start their own tech-based startups.
