  • What’s the cost and how much ownership is given up?

  • How to evaluate an accelerator effectively?

Joining us to dive deep into the world of startup accelerators and their impact on startup success are Dr. Sivapalan Vivekarajah, Senior Partner & Co-Founder of ScaleUp Malaysia Accelerator, and Justin Lim, Managing Partner at NEXEA Ventures.
