Endeavor Malaysia picks 8 companies for its ScaleUp Endeavor Cohort 2“For this second cohort, we selected the cream of the crop as we’ve set clear goals as we aim to double the revenue of the selected companies and also help them to complete a total fundraise amount of US$30 million for their growth. We believe Malaysia is no exception to this type of evolution as we encounter many decade-defining startups in the late 90’s and 20’s that are truly remarkable such as Jobstreet, Groupon, Grab and Carsome. With this, Endeavor Malaysia is taking on a bigger role through close facilitation in supporting and developing entrepreneurs through our ScaleUp Program –to take on a bigger role to build a more robust, resilient and sustainable entrepreneurship ecosystem-especially during these challenging times. We firmly believe in the ethos that when economies turn down, entrepreneurs turn up,” commented Adlin Yusman (pic), Managing Director of Endeavor Malaysia.

As part of the ScaleUp Endeavor program, all selected companies will be part of this hyper-personalised network support offering fixed and ad-hoc mentorship, Blitzscaling Circles (peer-to-peer sessions), Road-to-Market, access to capital and a dedicated account manager to monitor the entrepreneurs needs and growth.
