HASAN.VC recently hosted its Startup Showcase Demo Day, featuring 26 startups from the second cohort of its 7-week online accelerator program. These startups, spanning industries across Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, India, Bangladesh, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, presented innovative solutions rooted in fostering an ethical and sustainable economy.

The event reinforced HASAN.VC’s mission to pioneer a new era of ethical entrepreneurship, reshaping the economic landscape by emphasizing integrity and sustainability. Rather than chasing quick profits, HASAN.VC focuses on nurturing businesses committed to long-term impact and lasting value.

According to Mohd Akhtaar, Principal and Head of Accelerator at HASAN.VC, “As part of our ongoing commitment to ethical entrepreneurship, we’re empowering entrepreneurs to rethink business as a force for good. This event illustrates the power of mentorship and community support in building resilient, purpose-driven startups that contribute meaningfully to society.”

More than just a source of funding, HASAN.VC’s accelerator program provides strategic mentorship, market access, and tailored advisory services, equipping founders with the tools to scale their businesses sustainably.

A key differentiator of HASAN.VC’s approach is its focus on "camel startups," businesses designed to be resilient, adaptable, and built to endure over time. This contrasts with traditional venture capital models that often prioritize short-term gains and rapid exits. Instead, HASAN.VC backs startups that align with its mission of long-term, sustainable growth.

"We believe in investing in businesses that are not just looking for rapid growth but are committed to long-term, sustainable impact," said Umar Munshi, Managing Partner at HASAN.VC. "Our focus is on creating partnerships with founders who are equally dedicated to building a lasting legacy, rather than chasing fleeting trends.”

The Startup Showcase attracted a diverse range of investors, including angel investors, venture capitalists, institutional investors, and key industry stakeholders all seeking to support startups embracing ethical and impact-driven business models. The strong presence of decision-makers highlighted the growing momentum behind sustainable innovation and the increasing demand for value-driven businesses.

Through events like the Startup Showcase Demo Day, HASAN.VC continues to position itself as a leader in ethical entrepreneurship, providing a platform where innovation, sustainability, and long-term growth intersect.
