Can AI Solve SME Finance & Accounting? Meet DashAdd

Many Malaysian SMEs generate healthy profits but still struggle with cash flow and fail to secure funding. Why? The problem often lies in the gap between accounting (looking backward) and finance (planning forward). DashAdd, an AI-powered platform, aims to bridge this gap for good.

Co-Founder and CEO Awzair Hamid explains how his pre-seed startup is building an AI financial analyst named "Tawfeeq" to give SMEs clarity on their numbers. He discusses their vision to automate financial forecasting, simplify performance tracking, and match businesses with the right funding opportunities.

We discuss:

  • The critical difference between accounting and finance for business owners.

  • How they hope their AI agent, Tawfeeq, will simplify complex financial data.

  • The strategy to create a funding-matching ecosystem for SMEs.

  • Their go-to-market plan through strategic partnerships.

  • Insights from their pre-seed funding journey with HASAN.VC.

For startup founders and SME owners who feel overwhelmed by their numbers, this conversation offers a glimpse into the future of automated financial strategy.
