Here's your sign to take a giant leap! I did extensive research of resources available to help accelerate our start-up, bumii, to make climate action accessible to both people (our monthly newsletter informing Malaysians on the latest climate projects to volunteer for) and companies (helping SMEs to integrate climate action in their operations) But I often chickened out at the last minute. I was scared to apply to fellowships or competitions because I felt like not many people would resonate with our mission. But then, I realised I was sabotaging myself. Our newsletters had increasing followers, more partnerships with local organisations were formed, and most importantly, people understood what we were doing. So I did it. I applied for SheDisrupts 2023, a venture competition to help female-led start-ups grow in Malaysia. Whatever the outcome, I was still proud of our work and how far we've come. But lo and behold, we're through and commencing our first round next week! Looking forward to seeing how we'll grow and learn from mentors in the social impact space. So, if you're ever in doubt about doing something, do it. What's the worst thing that could happen? :) #socialimpact #malaysia #venturecompetition #startup
