The organisation supports its Malaysian chapter with a separate programme to provide companies with guidance and expertise access
Endeavor Malaysia, the Malaysian chapter of the global entrepreneur support organisation Endeavor, announces the launch of ScaleUp Endeavor, a new programme aimed at helping Malaysia’s high potential companies at its startup-phase.
Partnering TIME dotCom, ScaleUp Endeavor will be a 12-month programme that provides entrepreneurs with access to Endeavor’s panel of business experts, investors, and service partners with the aim to guide founders in refining their businesses.
The 12 selected entrepreneurs for the programme will receive customised mentorship in a structured format, in a series of workshops and an assigned mentor alongside them.
“We believe high-impact entrepreneurs play an important part in driving the growth of the economy. We aim to assist the startup-phase companies in obtaining clarity on how they should build a strong foundation in preparation for them to scale their company,” said Arthur Chan, Managing Director of Endeavor Malaysia.
