EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
3 | Malaysian Startup Ecosystem Report 2016
2016 has been another record year for the Malaysian startup community and for MaGIC. For aspiring
entrepreneurs, the presence of a dynamic and multicultural generation as well as supportive business
structures and being in a strategic geographical location make Malaysia a great place to build a startup.
As in all other industries, the Malaysian government is actively involved. From matching funds for
venture capitals to other government driven initiatives for nurturing the startup landscape, Malaysia’s
startup ecosystem is one that does not come without continued support from a number of
stakeholders in the public sector.
Despite Malaysia being a relatively small country as compared to the neighbouring countries, it has
proven strength in empowering globalization and has also demonstrated itself as a significant base
where it is home to startups that have raised huge funding rounds. iFlix raising US$45 million in funding
in March 2016 and kFit scoring US$12 million in a series A round are only some of the stirring factors
for the entire market to speculate when the next magic will happen. For this reason, Malaysia has
recently been made known as a platform in Asia.
However, there is a deficit in technical talent and much like many of the resources that Malaysia relies
on, talent too, is imported. Nevertheless, exits and startups with growing valuations still prove that
opportunities are abound for entrepreneurs in Malaysia.

Debra Fong, currently a Senior Analyst under the
Technology & Innovation Team joined Malaysia
Global Innovation & Creativity Centre (MaGIC) in
October 2016. With prior experience in both
analytics and corporate sales in the oil and gas
industry for three years, her current role in MaGIC
involves studying and gathering insights on
the local and global startup and social
entrepreneurship ecosystem. With this, her aim
is to achieve a better understanding on the current
achievements of Malaysia’s entrepreneurship
ecosystem and further strategise in creating
greater global impact.
Being a striving entrepreneur herself, she understands
the challenges that come with starting
one’s own business after she took the leap of faith
and began one of her own-an online baking
business (instagram.com/fatdebbakes) which she
currently pursues part time during the weekends.

Overall 2016 although lower than 2015, is still an
increase overall from 2013 and 2014. The dip could
be due to the lack of startups that are on the
fundraising mode (either quality, readiness or
startups just do not need the money).
Also with regards to the lower average per
investment, it could be due to the fact that VCs
and/or startups are becoming more savvy about
how much they would need for their growth and a
such, have designed smaller rounds to suit.
Alternatively, VCs may want reduce their risks
but increase their bets, so smaller rounds could
help them achieve that - i.e. the manner of how
500Startups invest.

Introduction :
BorderPass gets you through airport immigration
in seconds. We send your biometrically verified
profile to the destination government ahead of
travel to kickstart the immigration screening
process. Pre-cleared users can skip the
immigration queue and form using a seamless
and secure BorderPass automated gate on arrival.
Competitors :
There are other companies in the Malaysian
border control business, for example IRIS,
NERS, Prestariang and Datasonic, but they are
established players.
Problems/Issues tackled
by Borderpass :
BorderPass aims to tackle airport
overcrowding, which causes discomfort and
creates security issues.
Challenges faced by Borderpass :
On a technical level, we are working on the
integration of hardware from multiple
international vendors. We also have to get
approvals from various private and government
institutions. Funding is also an issue as we are
initially capex heavy during pre-commercialisation.
Borderpass
Program : Stanford (Global Program)
50 |
Introduction :
At 100% Project we seek to empower teachers to
provide the best learning experience for their
students. We do this primarily by connecting
public to their stories so they can raise funds for
their classroom needs.
Competitors :
Other great education NGO’s and organisations
are - Teach for Malaysia, Edunation, Arus
Problems/Issues tackled
by 100% Project :
We support dedicated teachers to go the extra
mile for the students but who cannot proceed due
to budget constraints in their school or their school
being from a more under privileged community.
On a larger scale, we also want to a (elevate the
teaching profession by raising the profile of
dedicated teachers, and b) rally the community
behind our teachers and to strengthen narrative
of the school being everybody’s responsibility, not
just the government’s.
Challenges faced by 100% Project :
Finding sustainable streams of revenue. We’re
constantly experimenting with increasing scope of
our offerings so we can leverage off our expanding
teacher network.

Introduction :
KATSANA is a data company focusing on usage-based
insurance by way of telematics. Our prediction &
gamification engine excels in understanding driver
behavior patterns, scoring drivers based on actual
risk on the road, and engage them to become
better drivers.
Competitors :
Automatic
Metromile
Problems/Issues tackled
by Katsana :
It started in 2013 when a friend’s car was
stolen in broad daylight at Bangsar, and
my brother’s car stolen a week later in
Penang. It made me do market research
and discovered that Malaysia is #6 in the
world when it comes to car theft, and
existing solutions in the market are in dire
need of innovation to keep up with latest
smartphone technologies.
Challenges faced by Katsana :
Being a young startup back then, it was rather hard for
us to tackle the enterprise sector because established
companies tend to be wary of new unproven startups.
However, once we managed to capture one enterprise,
others tend to follow suit. The tip is, associate yourself
with industry leaders to generate credibility. Big bosses
tend to trust their business buddies more than salesmen.

GOING
GLOBAL TIPS
60 |
“For any startup to go global, there’s two things they need
to sort out. One, making sure that they have enough cash
to mobilise anything they need in the new market and two,
they need to have a clear business model to deploy there.”
- Ashran Dato’ Ghazi, CEO MaGIC
“The more money a startup have, the more likely the
startup could survive (going global). Especially in countries
where the foreign exchange (from the original currency) is
stronger. Plus, a startup should plan to go global from the
get-go, as a long - term goal because sometimes in
certain countries, the market is relatively smaller
than they think.”
- Jonathan Lee, VP, Entrepreneurship Development, MaGIC
“Before venturing to global market, do your research for
the target market there and perform your due diligence
on your local team at the intended country. Make sure you
get the best and the right talents who knows the ropes and
quirks of the country (best to be locals). Don’t forget to
hustle to gain momentum and tractions.”
- Hazel Abu Samah, VP, Marketing and Communications, MaGIC

Sasha Tan – Founder (FAVFUL)
Syed Ahmad Fuqaha – Co-Founder (KATSANA)
Johnson Lam – Founder (KAKI DIY)
Adlin Yusman – Founder (BEMALAS)
“Uncertainty magnifies the challenge,
so face it quickly, lest it outgrows you.”
“There’s no so such thing as perfection. Thus don’t wait to be perfect
when releasing a product. Release quickly, iterate quickly.”
“You only live once. But in your lifetime, touch as many lives as you can,
you will be able to live your life through them.”
“Running a startup is like being in the trenches, you need the right strategy,
good lieutenants and most importantly a burning desire to win.”
68 | 1. https://www.facebook.com/richardker/media_set?set=a.10155032851759009.1073741847.789539008&type=3

Chow Yee Hoong – Founder (DAPPER&CO)
Cheryl Yeoh – Founding CEO (MaGIC)
Giden Lim – Co-Founder (BLOOMTHIS)
“Passion gets you started but
perseverance takes you to the finish line.”
“Analyze by fundamentals,
execute with passion.”
“Practice courage over comfort.
Be comfortable with the uncomfortable.”

Don’t make it an option.”

“Never ever downgrade your dreams. When you’re powered by
passion, positivity and sheer determination, you can do anything
and truly make a difference in people’s lives.”
“As you scale your startup you will delegate almost every
responsibility except belief. You must have an unbreakable
belief in your vision and insure that investors, partners, and
clients share that belief in what you.”

Malaysian Startup and Social Entrepreneurship Ecosystem Report 2016

  • 1. 1 | Malaysian Startup Ecosystem Report 2016 Malaysian Startup and Social Entrepreneurship Ecosystem Report 2016
  • 3. 3 | Malaysian Startup Ecosystem Report 2016 2016 has been another record year for the Malaysian startup community and for MaGIC. For aspiring entrepreneurs, the presence of a dynamic and multicultural generation as well as supportive business structures and being in a strategic geographical location make Malaysia a great place to build a startup. As in all other industries, the Malaysian government is actively involved. From matching funds for venture capitals to other government driven initiatives for nurturing the startup landscape, Malaysia’s startup ecosystem is one that does not come without continued support from a number of stakeholders in the public sector. Despite Malaysia being a relatively small country as compared to the neighbouring countries, it has proven strength in empowering globalization and has also demonstrated itself as a significant base where it is home to startups that have raised huge funding rounds. iFlix raising US$45 million in funding in March 2016 and kFit scoring US$12 million in a series A round are only some of the stirring factors for the entire market to speculate when the next magic will happen. For this reason, Malaysia has recently been made known as a platform in Asia. However, there is a deficit in technical talent and much like many of the resources that Malaysia relies on, talent too, is imported. Nevertheless, exits and startups with growing valuations still prove that opportunities are abound for entrepreneurs in Malaysia.
  • 4. 4 | Debra Fong, currently a Senior Analyst under the Technology & Innovation Team joined Malaysia Global Innovation & Creativity Centre (MaGIC) in October 2016. With prior experience in both analytics and corporate sales in the oil and gas industry for three years, her current role in MaGIC involves studying and gathering insights on the local and global startup and social entrepreneurship ecosystem. With this, her aim is to achieve a better understanding on the current achievements of Malaysia’s entrepreneurship ecosystem and further strategise in creating greater global impact. Being a striving entrepreneur herself, she understands the challenges that come with starting one’s own business after she took the leap of faith and began one of her own-an online baking business (instagram.com/fatdebbakes) which she currently pursues part time during the weekends.

  • 22. 22 | Overall 2016 although lower than 2015, is still an increase overall from 2013 and 2014. The dip could be due to the lack of startups that are on the fundraising mode (either quality, readiness or startups just do not need the money). Also with regards to the lower average per investment, it could be due to the fact that VCs and/or startups are becoming more savvy about how much they would need for their growth and a such, have designed smaller rounds to suit. Alternatively, VCs may want reduce their risks but increase their bets, so smaller rounds could help them achieve that - i.e. the manner of how 500Startups invest. Jonathan Lee of MaGIC

  • 49. 49 | Malaysian Startup Ecosystem Report 2016 Introduction : BorderPass gets you through airport immigration in seconds. We send your biometrically verified profile to the destination government ahead of travel to kickstart the immigration screening process. Pre-cleared users can skip the immigration queue and form using a seamless and secure BorderPass automated gate on arrival. Competitors : There are other companies in the Malaysian border control business, for example IRIS, NERS, Prestariang and Datasonic, but they are established players. Problems/Issues tackled by Borderpass : BorderPass aims to tackle airport overcrowding, which causes discomfort and creates security issues. Challenges faced by Borderpass : On a technical level, we are working on the integration of hardware from multiple international vendors. We also have to get approvals from various private and government institutions. Funding is also an issue as we are initially capex heavy during pre-commercialisation. Borderpass Program : Stanford (Global Program)
  • 50. 50 | Introduction : At 100% Project we seek to empower teachers to provide the best learning experience for their students. We do this primarily by connecting public to their stories so they can raise funds for their classroom needs. Competitors : Other great education NGO’s and organisations are - Teach for Malaysia, Edunation, Arus Problems/Issues tackled by 100% Project : We support dedicated teachers to go the extra mile for the students but who cannot proceed due to budget constraints in their school or their school being from a more under privileged community. On a larger scale, we also want to a (elevate the teaching profession by raising the profile of dedicated teachers, and b) rally the community behind our teachers and to strengthen narrative of the school being everybody’s responsibility, not just the government’s. Challenges faced by 100% Project : Finding sustainable streams of revenue. We’re constantly experimenting with increasing scope of our offerings so we can leverage off our expanding teacher network. 100% Project Program : MAP S.E
  • 51. 51 | Malaysian Startup Ecosystem Report 2016 Introduction : KATSANA is a data company focusing on usage-based insurance by way of telematics. Our prediction & gamification engine excels in understanding driver behavior patterns, scoring drivers based on actual risk on the road, and engage them to become better drivers. Competitors : Automatic Metromile Problems/Issues tackled by Katsana : It started in 2013 when a friend’s car was stolen in broad daylight at Bangsar, and my brother’s car stolen a week later in Penang. It made me do market research and discovered that Malaysia is #6 in the world when it comes to car theft, and existing solutions in the market are in dire need of innovation to keep up with latest smartphone technologies. Challenges faced by Katsana : Being a young startup back then, it was rather hard for us to tackle the enterprise sector because established companies tend to be wary of new unproven startups. However, once we managed to capture one enterprise, others tend to follow suit. The tip is, associate yourself with industry leaders to generate credibility. Big bosses tend to trust their business buddies more than salesmen. Katsana Program : MAP Asean

  • 59. 59 | Malaysian Startup Ecosystem Report 2016 11 GOING GLOBAL TIPS
  • 60. 60 | “For any startup to go global, there’s two things they need to sort out. One, making sure that they have enough cash to mobilise anything they need in the new market and two, they need to have a clear business model to deploy there.” - Ashran Dato’ Ghazi, CEO MaGIC “The more money a startup have, the more likely the startup could survive (going global). Especially in countries where the foreign exchange (from the original currency) is stronger. Plus, a startup should plan to go global from the get-go, as a long - term goal because sometimes in certain countries, the market is relatively smaller than they think.” - Jonathan Lee, VP, Entrepreneurship Development, MaGIC “Before venturing to global market, do your research for the target market there and perform your due diligence on your local team at the intended country. Make sure you get the best and the right talents who knows the ropes and quirks of the country (best to be locals). Don’t forget to hustle to gain momentum and tractions.” - Hazel Abu Samah, VP, Marketing and Communications, MaGIC Must Have Enough Cash & Clear Business Model Deployment Money Equals to Sustainability Do Your Due Diligence
