BEAM Launches Angel Investment Program in Malaysia and Singapore | BEAMSTART News

- From our Sponsors -

Malaysia & Singapore-based BEAM today announced the launch of the BEAM Angel Investment Program, a program focused on bringing up more angel investors to catalyze the growth of startup companies across South East Asia.

The program combines a cohesive learning experience and the use of technology to allow anyone who wishes to invest in startup/early stage technology companies to be able to learn and gain access to BEAM's online infrastructure of investment tools, connections, and resources.

"Today we live in a world where more and more people are becoming entrepreneurs and building innovative products/services for our lives. There is tremendous potential for investments in these technology companies, and being part of their growth as angel investors can be an incredibly fulfilling and life changing experience. Unfortunately, there isn't sufficient awareness, education, and tools available for investors to make effective decisions and manage their portfolios effectively." - Stated Ken Ho, CEO of BEAM

The educational program also includes a full day intensive course focused on providing in-depth understanding about investing in startups and early stage technology companies. 

Some of these are areas related to deal structuring, risk mitigation, legal due diligence, valuations, exits, and more. Participants will also gain access to BEAM's regional network of professional services, mentors, consultants, and more to assist them in their angel investing journey.

Veteran angel investors, entrepreneurs, and representatives from venture capital, legal, and corporate taxation background will be the speakers and panelists for the session. Some of them include Andrew Tan and Jin Tan from TinkBig Ventures, Lai Chee Hoe from Chee Hoe and Associates, Rashid Mohd. Nor from DELCO, and Wen Haur, Yeap from ACUMEN Bizcorp.


BEAM's Deal-Flow, Portfolio Management, and Communications Platform

Included in the program is also complete access to BEAM's deal-flow, analytics, and communications platform, which streamlines a broad array of companies raising funds together with their verified performance metrics. 

The platform also includes a portfolio management system for investors to easily keep track and monitor their investments, especially companies they have invested in and those they're keeping a close watch on.

Entrepreneurs on the other hand, will be able to easily submit fundraising requests via the app and the website.

BEAM today has a powerful communication and content distribution platform. This has allowed us to assist entrepreneurs in forming tens of thousands of new connections, collaborations, and investments across South East Asia. In these short couple of months, we have connected countless startups to dozens of investors from venture capital firms and accelerator programs. We hope to foster a greater number of angel investors to participate in this initiative.", mentioned Wallace Ho, COO of BEAM 


Representatives from Angel Investments, Venture Capital, and Crowd Funding sharing their insights at a recent BEAM event in Malaysia.

This is in line with the company’s vision of empowering technology entrepreneurship by inspiring and equipping more people with the ability to bring greater value in areas of capital, know-how, and connections to entrepreneurs building startups.

The BEAM Angel Investment Program will commence starting from 7th January 2017 in Malaysia, and 25th February in Singapore. The program will be opened to a limited number of early bird registrations.

Regarding future plans for the program, Kenneth had this to say, “We believe that there is tremendous value in the companies many of these young entrepreneurs are building, and we want to support them in any way possible. They need access to capital, connections, and lots of education to build great, sustainable companies. We believe that BEAM will bring significant amount of value to this space, and look forward to bringing more tools and services to drive this on a greater level".
