ASBhive × MyCreative SEF: Coach & Grow 3 Days Bootcamp
Heritage meets hustle. A three-day sprint with MyCreative Ventures for Malaysia's creative social enterprises — now in its post-program coaching phase.
A sprint for the culture keepers
Delivered by ASBhive in collaboration with MyCreative Ventures Sdn Bhd, Coach & Grow forms a vital part of the MyCreative Social Enterprise Fund (SEF) — a dedicated push to help Malaysia's creative social enterprises scale sustainably without losing the heart of their missions. Handcrafted for founders whose everyday products carry identity, lineage and community, spanning food, fashion, textile heritage and craft.
Six founders bridging Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah & Sarawak
Every venture operates on a double bottom line: balancing commercial viability with the preservation of heritage, the upliftment of local artisans and the protection of living traditions.

The cohort has now entered a tailored post-program phase of digital masterclasses and hands-on workshops built around where each business needs to go next.
