I am thrilled to announce the launch of the Single Window initiative at this morning's KL20 Summit, a cornerstone in our strategy to catalyze the growth of Malaysia's startup ecosystem. As part of our Whole of Government Approach, this initiative represents a collaborative effort across multiple ministries, enhancing our collective ability to support and nurture innovation. The Single Window initiative, along with the KL Innovation Belts and the Malaysia Venture Capital Roadmap, are integral components of our KL20 Action Paper. These initiatives are designed to empower tech startups by providing them with the necessary tools and support to thrive. By fostering an environment of innovation, we aim to achieve our ambitious goal of cultivating 5,000 self-sustaining startups by 2025. Central to our strategy is MYStartup, powered by the Cradle Fund.

TechAngels vision 🔭#10unicornsin10years 🦄was embraced by many from our tech community. The support and the „ready to roll the sleeves” attitude from partners allover the ecosystem were humbling. Marius Istrate, #TechAngels Chairman approaches, in the text below, the next stages of this process by suggesting, step by step, responses to the question „How can we fulfill this vision?”. First theme is about never walking alone and refers to working together with VC. In the article he explains the complementarity of business angels and VCs and makes a case for a strong cooperation. In brief, despite the difference in roles and strategies, both VCs and angel investors are looking for startup teams success. Their expertise and financial power can combine while accessing wider networks. Collaboration between business angels and VCs now happens earlier in a startup's lifecycle, allowing for continuous support from initial to later stages. Co-investing provides startups with a strong combination of resources and expertise, while investors share risks and jointly support the next generation of tech innovators. More about the first step that can take us closer to the vision in the full article. ⬇ Stay tune for the next steps. #growingtogether #neverwalkalone #startups, #angelinvestors #VC

On the sidelines of #GITEXglobal, I had the opportunity to connect with many VC fund managers, including several who are part of our #IFCStartupCatalyst program.   One of the key takeaways from our conversations is the important role VC funds play in strengthening local tech ecosystems. Startups in emerging markets face significant challenges in accessing the capital and expertise they need. For instance, in 2023, African startups received only 1% to 2% of global venture capital.   These statistics highlight the importance of our work. By supporting incubators, accelerators, and seed funds, IFC helps close those critical financing and resource gaps, providing startups with the capital, mentorship, and networks they need to thrive. Our IFC Startup Catalyst program, for instance, offers essential capital and expertise to build vibrant tech ecosystems. To date, the program has invested in and advised over 25 accelerators and seed funds in emerging markets – which in turn have invested in over 1,180 startups and supported more than 2,800 entrepreneurs, including over 700 women entrepreneurs, across 65 markets.   Our commitment to fostering innovation and entrepreneurship in emerging markets is stronger than ever. By empowering early-stage startups, we are driving economic growth while also helping develop innovative technology solutions that can help address some of the world's most pressing challenges.   #GITEX #IFCStartupCatalyst #Innovation #Entrepreneurship #EmergingMarkets #VentureCapital #VC #VCfunds #TechEcosystems #SustainableDevelopment #Startups IFC Disruptive Tech, VC & Funds Flat6Labs SOSV 500 Global Orbit Startups Ibtikar Fund DisrupTech Ventures Seedstars P1 Ventures Sturgeon Capital Valor Capital Group Chiratae Ventures

I agree that the support and complementarity of business angels and venture capitalists leads to great benefits from close cooperation. But I would like to shift the focus to another problem. To find the necessary financial and technical resources for a startup, in 99.99% of cases they require an MVP and it is desirable to have sales. It is one thing when about 10-15 thousand euros, 1-2 months and 1-3 people in the development team are required to create an MVP, and quite another thing when a startup project (even after reducing many functions) requires big funds, a team of 5-7 people and about 4-5 months of daily work to create an MVP. Unfortunately, finding enthusiasts and fans willing to work for free for half a year is almost impossible And then, I think, a different approach is required to achieve the goals of the project #10unicornsin10years . Perhaps it will be necessary to involve, in addition to venture capitalists and business angels, also technical consultants who can assess the value of the startup idea. And this idea, quite likely, solves the problem differently and has the potential for scaling. Achieving the project's #10unicornsin10years will require a non-standart approach. We need to do This Process it differently.

Corporate accelerators are a different beast to typical accelerator programmes. Why? They have to satisfy both the parent and the participating startups. If you don't succeed at both things, the programme won’t last, and it could harm your reputation.  According to data from CB Insights, some 60% of corporate accelerators in 2016 were failing after two years, with only 14% of them doing more activity after two years than they were at launch. Coca-Cola, Disney, Barclays, Microsoft and Deutsche Telekom are just a few of the big multi-nationals that have seen accelerators go under in the past.
