Welcome all start-ups to join the programme for the experience, regardless of the growth or stage of the company. However, we do have a preference. For instance, the program is ideally suited more towards entrepreneurs with start-ups that have operated for under 3 years with the following characteristics:
The main idea of IFAT is to groom issuers to become investable via crowdfunding. Throughout the entire program, we will be teaching participants how to create business proposals, a pitch deck, along with all the other necessary documents required to raise funds. Most importantly, it is a 7-week program, which is considerably a shorter duration compared to other programs that take months.
First, we will go through your pitch decks and analyse if they meet our criteria, followed by comments on what can be improved and whether the participant was successful or unsuccessful.
Impact Fundraise Accelerator Track (IFAT) is a strategic initiative to source and discover micro SMEs/startups and ventures that are suitable with ETHIS Malaysia offerings. A seven-week program that aims to groom companies to be more investible especially in the Equity Crowdfunding (ECF) landscape, which will be held fully virtually starting from the first week of October until the second week of November. This program is dedicated to business owners that meet the Securities Commission (SC) issuance guidelines.
The programme is aimed at helping startups reach their best capabilities in a short period. With the help of today’s influential leaders, participants will get to expand their knowledge on business and finance, which will be highly beneficial for their companies’ growth. Other than that, participants will be exposed to the creation of critical business investment documents such as an investor pitch deck, business plans, financial forecasts, sales and marketing strategies. Lastly, this will be a great opportunity for participants to expand their social network and show potential investors why they are investable and hopefully be able to raise capital for their businesses.
The programme will be held for 7 weeks, commencing from 1st week of October until 2nd week of November.

Yes, you are allowed to do so, However, we would not recommend doing this as participating in 2 accelerator programs at the same time would be rather time-consuming and would divide your focus. We believe you will be able to maximise your time by committing to one accelerator program at a time.
As long as they meet the criteria for the programme.
Yes, of course. As long as you meet the programme requirements and the founder is able to commit long hours and attend the sessions.
