Speed-Dating For Entrepreneurs?

While seeking help may be perceived as a sign of weakness by some, it is a misconception. Entrepreneurship is a complex journey filled with challenges, and guidance from experienced mentors can offer invaluable insights, saving fellow budding entrepreneurs from unnecessarily spending in terms of time or effort.

Today on Resource Centre, we look into the Antler Residency Program and how it attempts to support budding entrepreneurs with Frank Kang, the Country Head and Associate Partner of Antler Malaysia, as well as 2 participants from the program, Peh Sern, Co-Founder & CEO of COEX, and Heaster Andrea Hilary, Co-Founder & CEO of MessengerCo.

The Antler Residency Program is an intensive course that condenses months' worth of progress into a few weeks, to support aspiring entrepreneurs in building their startups. Antler’s program has helped founders better understand and navigate their entrepreneurial journey and boasts a network of over 8,000 founders and 600 advisors across 30 locations.
