Unlocking Capital: A Guide to Equity Crowdfunding for Businesses

Continuing our exploration of the world of fundraising, on this episode of P&L we dive into what entrepreneurs and businesses should know about equity crowdfunding (ECF). Equity crowdfunding (ECF) offers businesses in Malaysia an alternative route to raising funds. In our discussion with Sam Shafie, Founder and CEO of pitchIN , we explore why and when entrepreneurs should consider ECF, the common pitfalls to avoid, and the intense marketing and investor engagement involved in successful campaigns.

Some key points explored include:

Raising Capital: Insights into the regulatory limits, typical deal sizes, and the importance of having a compelling growth story.

Preparation is Key: The importance of due diligence, financial projections, and being ready to answer tough questions from potential investors.

The Role of MyCIF: How the Malaysian Co-Investment Fund works and its benefits for SMEs.

Managing Investor Relations: The nominee structure used by PitchIn to streamline investor interactions and cap table management.

Marketing and Roadshows: How crucial these elements are in convincing investors and raising funds.

Join us as we unpack the intricacies of ECF and how it fits into the broader fundraising landscape.
