In this episode of P&L, we dive into the Spartan Elevation Fund, a microfund investing in Malaysian startups via pitchIN’s equity crowdfunding platform. Launched by Spartan Ives Capital, the fund focuses on three key sectors—food security, entertainment, and tech.

From a shrimp farm using innovative disease-control methods to an AI-driven content platform, the fund looks for ventures with tangible growth potential. Beyond capital, Spartan Ives says it provides back-office support and strategic guidance, enabling founders to concentrate on scaling their core products—alongside a pre-planned pathway to exit.

Learn how Spartan Ives deploys checks of RM2–3 million, what equity stake founders may have to surrender, and how it aims to execute on their "pre-planned exit strategies". If you’re an entrepreneur weighing ECF versus other funding routes, this conversation reveals critical insights into Spartan Elevation’s model, its investment approach, and expectations of startups.
