Fund Objective CIP 500 was introduced as a specific measure to bridge the existing seed/commercialisation funding gap (i.e. the lack of seed stage grant, equity and debt funding) in the Malaysian technology funding ecosystem.
Description Scope CIP 500 provides budding Malaysian companies with the necessary funds, support and skills required to support commercialisation. With the introduction of CIP 500, Cradle aims to maintain Malaysia’s innovation momentum in the changing landscape of entrepreneurship based on strong commercialisation focus, and create companies that are sizeable, sustainable or venture capitalist (VC)-fundable. CIP 500 recipients are also given a 12-month period to complete the development of the relevant processes that will enable them to attain commercialisation.
