Hey Eliana. Yes, as long as there's a tech component.

Hey everyone,

I’m Whay Ying, VP at Maximus. We’re a venture fund that supports founders all the way from the earliest stages through to growth and follow-on funding.

We recently launched our accelerator, which is really the starting point into everything we offer. It begins with a $50K non-dilutive grant (+ access to advisory team + opportunity to pitch for $250K) and helps founders get investor-ready while navigating our broader ecosystem, whether that’s raising capital, connecting with investors, or scaling through our regional and global funds.

If any of that sounds relevant to where you are, I’d be happy to share more. Always happy to hear what you’re working on too.

Hey everyone!

I’m Whay Ying, VP at Maximus, a full-stack venture platform that backs founders from Day 0 through growth and scale.

At the heart of what we do is MoonshotNX, our entry-point accelerator designed for high-potential founders globally. We don’t take equity upfront - instead, we kick things off with a $50K non-dilutive grant and guide you through our Capital Stack Model™, blending grants, VC, credit, and follow-on syndication.

Once you’re in, you gain access to our wider ecosystem:

• Investor relations & capital advisory through MAXNX
• Regional venture capital via Moonshot M1 Funds
• Global follow-on funding through our MaxF1 Fund
We just launched the new cohort, and I’d be happy to share more if you’re curious. You can also get 10% off the program fee with the code WHAY10. Apply here.

Let me know if you want to chat!
