Nexawork AI Founders
Today Allen Tan Chee Hoe announced the launch of Nexawork AI’s Asia digital transformation programme, which helps founders, project owners and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) build their first digital productIt offers custom software development, including AI solutions and AI agents, starting with a Starter Pack at RM19,900.00, with a full refund of the development fee if Nexawork AI misses the delivery date in the contract.
The programme starts in Malaysia, its first market in Southeast Asia, before extending across AsiaApplications are open now at nexawork.aiIts pricing is made possible by more than 100 partners, who share the work and bring businesses to the programme.
Why Asia’s SMEs hold back on AI and digital transformation
Asia runs on small businessesAcross 26 economies tracked by the Asian Development Bank (ADB), micro, small and medium enterprises make up 99.8% of all enterprises, employ 67.6% of the workforce and produce 38.7% of national outputYet many still run on paper and spreadsheets, SME digitalisation lags, and AI is widening the gapIn South Korea, a 2024 Korea Federation of SMEs survey of 300 SMEs found only 5.3% using AI, and the obstacle cited most was the lack of AI services built for their needs.
Cost and risk add to the hesitationIn Malaysia, 2026 industry estimates put even a basic first version of mobile software at RM30,000 to RM60,000, and most SME projects at RM60,000 or moreFor a first time founder, that is a large bet on one vendorOwners are avoiding risk, not technology.
“Transformation fails on the first invoice, not on the technology,” said Allen Tan Chee Hoe, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Nexawork AI. “We are not trying to reprice the marketWe want to give many SMEs the confidence to take their first step into digitisation, together with more than 100 partners, so a founder anywhere in Asia can build a first digital product without betting the year on itAnd we are not here to replace anyone’s workforceOur AI brings productivity to business owners and their teams, so that adoption actually happens.”
A full refund if the delivery date is missed
If Nexawork AI misses the delivery date in the contract, the business receives a full refund of the development feeThe clock starts when the business provides complete information and access, and the scope is fixed in writing before work begins.
Custom software development and AI solutions built around the business
Every system is shaped around the individual businessProfessional engineers write, review and test every build, and the owner needs no technical knowledgeProjects can include a native mobile platform for ordering, payment through the business’s own provider, delivery tracking and referrals, an admin console, connections to existing software, and AI built for the business, from AI solutions on its own data to AI agents that answer enquiries or follow up on orders.
RM19,900.00 is the Starter Pack, the entry point to the programme: a focused first system built around one core workflow, such as taking orders or bookings, with an admin console for the ownerBuilds with more features, AI, payments or integrations are scoped and priced above the Starter Pack.
Why the programme price is possible: more than 100 partners
The programme is designed to grow the market, not to undercut itThe price is not set to compete with the market: most SMEs would not commission development at RM100,000 or more, so the programme reaches businesses that would otherwise not digitise at all, rather than taking work from established developersThe Starter Pack can start at RM19,900.00 because more than 100 partners share the work and bring businesses to the programme, so less of each project’s price goes on sales and marketing.
