COACH & GROW PROGRAMME FOR MALAYSIAN TECHNOPRENEURS
Coach & Grow Programme (CGP) is not a normal coaching programme as the coaching structure is focused primarily on execution strategies. It is a hands-on business improvement programme and the coaches are someone who have walked the path. So be ready for your coach to set KPIs, suggesting that you revise your marketing plan etc. because these are all the things that might happen if you are part of the CGP. Of course whatever suggestions made by the coaches are in good faith and is for the good of the company. If you are unable to trust your coaches and their advises, then this programme might not be suitable for you.
CGP is open to ALL companies and not just those who are recipients of Cradle Fund.
CGP is open to all tech companies, including those in the bio and green tech, engineering, healthcare and medical devices, Internet and mobility spaces.
