Collektr: Raising Millions to Revolutionise Collectibles

Collektr in 2025: 10X revenue, raise Series A funding, push regionally, hire right. In this episode of Open for Business, we explore how Malaysian startup Collektr is tapping into the booming collectibles market, blending nostalgia with investment potential. From trading cards and comics to sneakers and beyond, Collektr wants to transform how enthusiasts trade, value, and showcase collectibles.

With over 40,000 users and $1.3 million raised in Pre-Series A funding, Founder and CEO Adlin Yusman shares the platform’s journey, highlighting the pivotal roles of AI, technology, live streaming, and community. Drawing on lessons learned from the failure of his previous venture, BeMalas, Adlin, discusses the challenges of ensuring authenticity, facilitating high-value transactions, and navigating a high-value collectibles market. He also highlights Collektr’s impressive growth since its launch in April 2023 and the company’s ambitious plans for regional expansion and achieving 10X revenue growth by 2025.

Adlin also shares his preference for an M&A exit strategy to deliver liquidity for investors and reveals that the company is actively raising its Series A round to capitalise on the growing collectibles boom.
