Joining the discussion are Bikesh Lakhmichand, CEO and Founding Partner of 1337 Ventures, Leon Goh, CEO of Gourmet Ingredients, and Ko Yun Hong, Managing Director of SNS Network Technology. Leon and Ko share their experiences with the Elevate Program by Capital Markets Malaysia (CMM), an initiative designed to prepare SMEs and MTCs for the challenges of public capital markets.
The episode covers lessons learned, insights on accessing public capital, the importance of governance, and the realities of preparing for an IPO or other public fundraising activities. Our guests provide valuable perspectives on growth strategies, effective governance, and navigating the intricacies of public capital markets.
The Elevate Programme, launched by Capital Markets Malaysia (CMM), an affiliate of the Securities Commission Malaysia, aims to equip successful Malaysian SMEs and mid-tier companies with the skills, knowledge, and networks needed to access public capital markets. This program goes beyond IPO preparation, offering access to the broader capital markets.
Led by 1337 Ventures as the lead delivery partner, the 4-month program includes eight modules designed to help business owners and C-suite executives address core issues and challenges critical to scaling their businesses. It is open to Malaysian mid-tier companies and SMEs with annual revenues of at least RM5 million.
