(Phnom Penh): Cambodia’s startup ecosystem continues to grow, particularly in technology-enabled businesses. However, access to finance remains a critical constraint for startups and SMEs seeking to scale. Many founders demonstrate innovation and early market traction but lack investment readiness, structured fundraising strategies, and access to appropriate investors.

DealConnect Accelerator is designed to bridge the gap between startups and investors. Beyond training that enhances investment readiness, competitiveness, and mobilization of private capital, the program offers hands-on preparation, mentorship, and post-demo deal support, thereby preparing startups for real investment conversations and supporting them through the early stages of deal-making.
