The KnW Startup Factory Program (SFP) is a comprehensive 5-stage development program for startups, aimed at helping entrepreneurs transform their ideas into viable, scalable businesses.
The program includes stages from founder registration to business incubation and exit strategy.
The Startup Factory Program (SFP) by KnW Technology Consulting is designed to be flexible and scalable, allowing it to be held in various regions, depending on the target market and the entrepreneurs, startups, or professionals involved. Here’s how the program can be implemented across different locations:
KnW’s SFP is adaptable to both local, regional, and global markets, with the potential for in-person or virtual participation depending on the location and the audience.
Our approach differentiates between the Startup Factory Program (SFP) and technology consulting services to ensure optimal quality and expertise:
This strategy allows us to leverage affiliate partnerships for the SFP while safeguarding the integrity of our core consulting services.
SFP Affiliate Leaders are strategic ambassadors responsible for championing and driving the success of the program in each state across Malaysia, provinces within ASEAN, or any international market.
They play a key role in leading regional growth, cultivating partnerships, and expanding the program's reach within their respective territories.
Their leadership ensures that the program thrives, maximizing impact and accelerating results across both local and global markets.
Their role includes promoting the SFP, recruiting participants, and helping with the overall growth of startups in their region. They are key connectors between the program and local entrepreneurs.
In Short :
The SFP Affiliate model is based on a tiered system where each state has a designated leader for each generation (Baby Boomer, Gen X, Gen Y, Gen Z). These leaders are incentivized based on the number of fully paid clients they bring into the program.
To become an Affiliate Leader, you must demonstrate experience in entrepreneurship, business development, or digital transformation.
You must also have a strong network in your state and a passion for supporting startups. Affiliate Leaders are selected from one of the affiliate categories after completing training, workshops, and assessments. Contact us to apply and join our team.
