PETALING JAYA: As Malaysia sharpens its focus on building an innovation-driven economy, Jelawang Capital (Jelawang) is laying early groundwork to strengthen the country’s venture capital (VC) ecosystem.
A wholly owned subsidiary of Khazanah Nasional Bhd (Khazanah), Jelawang acts as the country’s national fund-of-funds, with a mandate that goes beyond capital deployment. Jelawang’s goal is to enable fund managers and high-potential startups to thrive over the long term through structural support and institutional trust.
