Five Successful ECF Campaigns in Malaysia

According to the statistics from Securities Commission Malaysia (SC), Malaysia's equity crowdfunding (ECF) platform had raised a total of RM38.36 million since its inception in 2015 (until June 2018) through 40 campaigns.

Among the key take away from the statistic was:

• 48% sought funding of RM500k and below
• 60% of the issuer was technology-based companies
