Apply For Funding

We handpick only specific businesses to work with. This is so we ensure that we provide maximum benefit to them through funding and mentorship, as well as ensure that the company is a good fit for us. The selection process is a thorough and stringent process, which involves four stages as desribed below.

Step 1: Screening- can take up to 5 days- we go through your application and see what ideas you bring to the table. This is to get a basic understanding of the products and services that your business offers, and the roadmap for the next few months/ years.

Step 2: Contact to discuss more details – can take up to 10 days – we contact prospective businesses which are successful during the screening process. Here we dive deep into your business model and see if we are a good fit for each other. This would generally involve a presentation where you talk about revenues, business plans/ blue prints, competitor analysis, sustainability and exit strategies.

Step 3: Discuss funding and operational aspects- can take up to 15 days – once successful with the presentation, we will talk about the key points such as business development, strategic partnership, shareholding structure and market alliance.

Step 4: Due diligence to the funding- can take up to 25 days – this will be the last step where we will do the risks and gaps analysis. Once everything looks good, we will contact you to proceed with the partnership and sign the requisite paperwork.
