Equity Crowdfunding

Malaysia is the first ASEAN country to have a legal framework on crowdfunding. Crowdfunding as we know it, either from Kickstarter or IndieGogo or even Malaysia’s own PitchIN, have been a different source of how people with great ideas can fund their idea without much risks. Earlier in June, the Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) announced the approval of six registered equity crowdfunding platforms, giving small businesses and entrepreneurs greater access to capital. And today, we’re speaking to Sam Quawasmi, Managing Director of Eureeca, one of the 6 licensed equity crowdfunders in Malaysia.
