We <3 startups

As a startup ourselves, figuring out what needs to be done especially when you’re just starting can be daunting to many. Fortunately, there are a lot of things we can do to help you. Take a look at our usual services for startups.

Entity Formation

Our extensive experience in dealing with entrepreneurs and founders can help you avoid major pitfalls in starting a startup so that you can get focused on growing your venture.

Equity Investment and Venture Debt

We usually act for startups in their investment rounds from friends and angel rounds to series A investments. We can help you draft invetment documents like investment term sheet, KISS, SAFE, or convertible note to comply with the Malaysian laws.

Contracts

Whether you're just negotiating on vesting schedule between cofounders to licensing your B2C platform on a SaaS model, we've got your back.

Intellectual Property

As a technology startup, your IP may be your most valuable asset. We can help you identify your IP, teach you how to protect it, file applications with the Malaysian Intellectual Property Organisation, and more.

And More

As we usually act for startups and technology companies, we’ve seen quite a bit. Odds are, we’ve seen exactly what you are going through and we can help you move in the right direction.
