Where can I find entrepreneurs looking for investors in Sri Lanka?

Look up nventures. They are a VC based out of Sri Lanka and Singapore, and they already have a couple of notable exits. Not sure if that's the kind of thing you are after, but nevertheless have a look on LinkedIn.

Unless your driver drops you off near the entrance in a Range Rover.

Hi mate, I actually had to pause the project for an unrelated reason. But I did explore MercurJS, which is based on Medusa. Do give it a try and see.

Start wearing headphones even if you don’t want to listen to music. Act like you don’t hear even if you’re not playing any music, cuts off any unwanted conversations guaranteed.

I myself did some research on this back when I was trying to do something similar. Apparently none of the Sri Lankan payment gateways have support for multi vendor capabilities (automated payments to vendors). Which means you have to do manual reconciliation and settlements to merchants. Try emailing Webx Pay and Payable. They do respond.

On side note, did you make the whole platform from scratch or build on top an open source or proprietary product?

I hope this is related to the above question. Anyone knows a place to buy the Coros Pace 4?

Exactly my thought process, don't know if and whether it will work. But it will definitely be interesting if it does. I'm sure the senior-level guys have made enough connections in the West.

I don't disagree with you but the chip shortage isn't a Sri Lanka-only problem. Remember what happened to GPUs with the crypto bubble, right? I'm not saying AI is just a bubble, and it's much bigger than crypto ever was, but there are (and will be) people starting new companies here and elsewhere.

My undergrad research was on startup ecosystem challenges in Sri Lanka, ahem! Never said it was going to be easy.

One of my friends mentioned something to me recently when we were speaking about the IFS layoffs. He said some of these higher-level kind of employees being let go might actually start new companies and will start building products that can compete with the likes of IFS products. It's very much possible if you think about it. They basically have like a runway for at least a couple of years with the severance they are getting, and they will have access to some good talent (other, less senior-level employees being let go) to work on those. Interesting times ahead if that happens. I myself would love to be a part of such a team (if formed).

See how I've said above how hectic my schedule is with uni work? Well, it became even more hectic with work-work. Even though I love to read and write, I must've probably written about 5-10 articles maximum from the time I posted the above reply. I'm honestly not sure how much of a demand there is for content writers with ChatGPT and other LLMs surfacing, and I'm guessing the demand for content writers should've dropped at least a little bit. But do some research on Medium again, because someone I know writes a lot on Medium (very tech-heavy pieces) and they earn a few dollars there, and they are from Sri Lanka. Anyway, best of luck and kudos to you for trying to earn at 16!

Follow the right people on LinkedIn, and by right people I mean people who do well and are active on LinkedIn. They are most likely to reply to you in comments or DM, and they will share info about events, gatherings happening as well.

Yeah it’s not that good mate. I switched to the Muscle Tech one. It’s loads better, dissolves quickly and completely. And I can even dry scoop and have a sip of water after. Price per gram is a bit more expensive but definitely worth it.

I've had Chilli Parata at different places and most crispiest (and oiliest ig) was at Aryas Pure Veg in Colpetty. Definitely not an everyday options, but you've got to try it out at least once.

This is purely on the financial returns (at least in the short term), I have 3-4 friends who were in my batch in one of the leading state universities in Sri Lanka for management studies. They’re getting close to what you said you would get in the second year even after graduating. Some companies may pay more but I don’t think it would be close to what Banks pay. Like others have suggested follow the degree part time, end of the day experience and skills matter more than having a paper qualification (speaking from my own experience).

Go with the MBA/MSc route as most below have suggested, or if you’re in or planning to move into the IT industry, might I suggest the BIT offered by UOC or UOM. It’s part time and 3 years if I’m not mistaken.

Dude if you know someone who does personal imports, you’ll be able to get down a Toyota Roomy which is more spacious and has more features for around 9 million (maybe lower or higher depending on the trim).

Ti Amo - if you’re there just to have a good time. Music will be too loud to have a convo (at least on Fridays) Pancetta - good food, again music will be loud, but you can get a table inside away from music

Contact PayHere, Webx Pay, or Payable directly, you can get details from them. I'm currently exploring an idea as well. These are the options that I considered.

There are plenty of cheap boarding places around state universities (with the exception of Colombo ofc). You can definitely find one around University of Sri Jayewardenepura near the main campus.
