The MYStartup Pre-Accelerator Cohort 4, powered by Cradle in collaboration with WatchTower & Friends (WTF), concluded its demo day back on 4 October. It marks the culimation of over three months of mentorship, training, and business development, where 11 startups were selected as finalists.
Of the 11 startups, the top five were selected to receive RM35,000 each alongside additional support and access to MYStartup and partner perks. The five startups are DashAdd, IOXTECH Global, Faradays Energy, Nanofertech, and Vidanex.
“The innovation and entrepreneurial spirit demonstrated by this cohort reaffirms our confidence in Malaysia’s talent pool. Startups are the pioneers who see opportunities where others see obstacles, and at Cradle, we understand their vital role in shaping the future of Malaysia’s economy,” said the Group CEO of Cradle, Norman Matthieu Vanhaecke.
Also chiming in is the CEO and Co-Founder of WatchTower & Friends, Sam Shafie. “WatchTower & Friends has been running programmes for entrepreneurs since 2015, and it’s clear there is no shortage of talent in Malaysia. We are proud to continue playing our part in meeting the government’s startup ecosystem roadmap, and we’re constantly updating our programme syllabus to ensure startups are well-equipped.”
