If venture capital isn’t the answer for traditional SMEs and Mid-Tier Companies (MTCs), where should they turn for growth capital? In this episode of P&L, we explore how conventional, non-tech, and non-high-growth Malaysian businesses can unlock growth capital with insights from Amelia Ong, CEO of OSK Ventures International, and Bikesh Lakhmichand, CEO and Founding Partner of 1337 Ventures.

With the Malaysian government launching a new co-investment fund to support SMEs and MTCs, this conversation goes beyond the headlines to uncover broader funding opportunities. From debt and equity to alternative financing, we discuss the strategies businesses can adopt to attract the right investors and grow sustainably.

Our guests share insights into how traditional businesses, those outside the high-growth tech space. can make themselves more investable, avoid common funding mistakes, and align with partners who understand their unique needs.

Whether you're a business owner looking for capital or an investor seeking opportunities, this episode offers valuable guidance on navigating Malaysia's evolving funding landscape.
