The Rise Summit: Fueling Financial Empowerment for Female Founders and Leaders

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia - April 22, 2024 - PRLog -- Malaysia-based community On The Rise, dedicated to empowering female entrepreneurs, will make a significant mark with the debut of its Rise Summit. This pivotal event, to be held at the Asia School of Business, aims to educate and support women in harnessing their financial strength and business acumen.

Kate Sarginson, the visionary behind On The Rise, describes the summit not just as an event, but a movement promoting women supporting each other. "We've designed the Rise Summit as an essential platform for women aiming to elevate their financial literacy and business skills, whether they're navigating personal finances or seeking growth strategies for their businesses."

Distinguishing itself from standard affairs, the Rise Summit presents a rich program focusing on finance, with keynotes, panel sessions, masterclasses, and workshops. It introduces a Funding Corner by pitchIN for entrepreneurs to connect with finance professionals and features two vibrant marketplaces—the general marketplace and the ASBhive Marketplace—empowering attendees to explore products and services enhancing their financial and business growth.

The summit assembles an array of influential speakers, including notable figures like Izzana Saleh, Raja Teh, Freda Liu, and Malisse Tan, guaranteeing a dynamic exchange of ideas and insights.

Echoing the enthusiasm, Dr. Siti Najaa of Asia School of Business highlights the partnership's aim to provide women with the imperative resources and networking opportunities for success.

Rejina Rahim, founder of Wahine Capital Sdn Bhd, articulates the synergy between her company's mission and the summit's objectives, promoting financial education and community building among women.

Sam Shafie, CEO of pitchIN, notes the shared goal of simplifying fundraising and investment processes, fostering a supportive environment for women entrepreneurs to thrive.

The event also supports the Women's Aid Organisation (WAO), dedicating a percentage of ticket sales to champion women's rights in Malaysia.
