NEXEA Success Stories: Driving Exceptional Growth for Startups

B2B Disruptor

NEXEA has invested RM10,000,000 into a technology company to date. The company leveraged the NEXEA network to secure major clients, including a global consulting firm and a national listed company, validating their software and business model. These relationships provided critical early feedback and long-term revenue opportunities, with the company growing >900X to date. NEXEA played pivotal roles in helping to validate their business models by arranging a strategic discussion with key industry leaders. Today, they are a regional market leader outperforming their competitors.

Online Platform Disruptor

A leading SaaS company has been part of NEXEA’s Entrepreneurs Programme since 2022, where peer advisory and mentorship from our Investor-Mentors helped the company build a strong sales team and rapidly grow recurring revenue 4X from RM1 million to RM4 million in 2 years. The founders were guided in validating their revenue model through an agent sales channel. Additionally, introductions for collaboration with another portfolio company further expanded the company’s product distribution.

B2C Disruptor

NEXEA made an investment offer to a Startup in the accelerator programme. To better understand the Startup’s financial needs, NEXEA’s team worked closely with the founder to develop a detailed financial model focusing on capex and cash generation. This allowed the Startup to reduce its capital raise requirement from RM1.5 million to RM250k and focus on increasing gross profit output efficiency by a whopping 66%. With NEXEA’s guidance, the Startup successfully connected with key customers and is on track to meet the financial targets planned.
