Alternative Entrepreneurship IFD Program (Malaysia)

Note: This ad is not for a job but for the opportunity to explore a different kind of entrepreneurship

Are you in Malaysia, and:

• an employee, fresh graduate, or graduating student who is seriously considering becoming a founder but do not know how to start; or
• a founder that is looking for a hard reset (starting from scratch and not simply “pivoting”...no on-going business, team and investor commitments) and wanting to do entrepreneurship differently from the typical VC way of building ventures; and

• very open to learning new ways of long-term problem solving while managing high levels of uncertainty, complexity and the vagueness.

Then we may invest in you and help you build your new business as you could be part of our growing Founder community.

Requirements

No previous experience needed. No startup ideas needed. We prefer you place your ideas on the side while going through our Program.

All applicants are required to go through a discernment process called Intensive Foundation Design (IFD) before being considered for investment. This is not a formal interview. Instead, it is a deeper discourse and reflection on your personal background that goes beyond careers and entrepreneurship before being tied back to what is critical for you in your career decisions and shaping your future business.

If you feel like there is enough for you to want to explore with us, this is what to expect in terms of the our process:

Participants: You and 1 Reapra Supporter + any additional people in Reapra that we believe could help in the discussion.

Duration: Estimated 3 months or more depending on progress

Time Commitment: 1-2 hours a week, in person or online

Benefits

We invest in your new company at a Pre-Seed Round starting at SGD 50,000.

We provide very involved support to our Founders and access to our Reapra Co-learning Communities to help each other create profitable and financially sustainable businesses that solve real, long-term systemic problems.
