SLC Mentors under the PSAP Program

SLC had the honor of being invited to participate as a mentor in the prestigious Penang Startup Accelerator Programme (PSAP) organized by the Penang Youth Development Corporation (PYDC). The accelerator program, held in September 2022, aimed to nurture and support promising startups in Penang, Malaysia.

As a mentor, SLC had the exciting opportunity to work closely with Skybi (https://myskybi.com/), a groundbreaking startup revolutionizing the provision of professional psychology or counseling services exclusively online. Our role was to assess their overall business approach, identify potential risks, and help refine their pitch for funding.

Throughout the mentorship program, our experienced team at SLC collaborated closely with the passionate minds behind Skybi. We offered invaluable insights into the legal aspects of their business, including compliance, intellectual property protection, and risk management. We also provided guidance on structuring their pitch to effectively communicate their unique value proposition to potential investors.

Skybi's innovative platform, which enables individuals to access professional psychology or counseling services conveniently and securely from anywhere, resonated strongly with us. We were impressed by their commitment to breaking down barriers and making mental health support more accessible to all.

Being a part of the Penang Startup Accelerator Programme was a fantastic opportunity for SLC to contribute to the growth and success of promising startups in the region. Our mentorship role allowed us to combine our expertise in startup law and business advisory, empowering entrepreneurs like Skybi to navigate the legal landscape and position themselves for sustainable growth.

We are immensely proud of the progress made by Skybi during the accelerator program and remain committed to supporting them on their journey. At SLC, we understand the unique challenges faced by startups, and we are dedicated to providing tailored legal solutions and guidance to help them thrive.

As we continue to forge partnerships with innovative startups, we remain grateful for opportunities like the Penang Startup Accelerator Programme that allow us to contribute to the vibrant startup ecosystem and empower the next generation of entrepreneurs.
