ALTERNATIVE FUNDING 2022
WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
The COVID-19 pandemic has severely affected the sustainability of startups and tech companies in Malaysia. Companies especially with less than 3 years of operations are faced with various challenges tapping into funding facilities as banks will prioritise existing customers with track records. As such, an alternative avenue for funding and financing is necessary for them, especially moving towards the post pandemic world. In response to this, MDEC has partnered with 12 Equity Crowdfunding (ECF) and Peer-to-Peer (P2P) platforms to help entrepreneurs tide the economic challenges & provide cash flow relief for micro, small & medium enterprises (MSME). MDEC will offer priority assessment to all applicants by screening your eligibility before channelling them to the selected ECF/P2P operators
