๐ Thatโs a wrap on Fundraising 101 webinar.
It was a great morning on ๐๐จ๐ซ๐ฅ๐ ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ซ๐๐ฉ๐ซ๐๐ง๐๐ฎ๐ซโ๐ฌ ๐๐๐ฒ spent with 55+ Malaysian founders and business owners, unpacking one of the trickiest parts of building a business: fundraising.
Bikesh Lakhmichand shared a reminder that stayed with us: ๐๐๐ฉ๐ข๐ญ๐๐ฅ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ ๐ญ๐จ๐จ๐ฅ, ๐ง๐จ๐ญ ๐ ๐ญ๐ซ๐จ๐ฉ๐ก๐ฒ.
The goal isnโt to raise money just because it sounds impressive. Itโs about raising the right kind of capital, at the right time, for the right reason.
A few key takeaways:
๐ท The more proof you have like traction, revenue, healthy numbers, the more funding options opens up.
๐ท Not every business needs Venture Capital. Grants, debt, P2P, ECF and Private Equity all serve different purposes.
๐ท Start with your milestone, work out what it takes to get there, then figure out how much to raise.
๐ท Fundraising is not one-size-fits-all. Knowing which door to knock on can make all the difference.
Thank you to everyone who joined, asked questions and shared openly.
