Malaysia’s Unicorn CARSOME Open To New Funding, Open To Dual-Listing
Southeast Asia’s largest car e-commerce platform Carsome is open to new funding from potential strategic investors, its co-founder and group CEO Eric Cheng told Reuters.
Cheng said the company is looking for strategic investors whose “businesses are able to add value to what we are doing, be it on car trading, financing or insurance.”
He told Reuters on the sidelines of the Forbes Global CEO Conference in Singapore. Last year, Carsome has won one of Malaysia’s first batch of digital bank licenses, as part of the consortium led by KAF Investment Bank. Cheng earlier told TNGlobal that the consortium plans to launch its digital bank as early as year-end or early next year.
Carsome is ready for an initial public offering (IPO) but is in no rush to list, Cheng told Reuters.
“We haven’t really set a right timeline or window,” he said, adding the company was also open to a dual-listing.
“We need exchanges that appreciate the business that we’re building,” he was quoted as saying. “We need that exchange to be able to also provide enough liquidity.”
Carsome was valued at $1.7 billion in its fund-raising round early last year, when it completed its $290 million Series E round. The financing round then was jointly led by Qatar Investment Authority (QIA), 65 Equity Partners (65EP) and Seatown Private Capital Master Fund (Seatown). The round also saw participation from investors such as Mediatek, Sunway, Gokongwei Group, YTL Group, and Taiwan Mobile.
The Malaysia-headquartered unicorn has hit operational profitability in the first quarter of this year and is expected to achieve its first group-wide profit or break-even before year-end, Cheng reportedly said.
Carsome has become Malaysia’s first tech unicorn as part of a share-swap deal that take a stake in iCar Asia in July 2021.
Founded in 2015, Carsome has expanded into Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore and recently in the Philippines. It works with 20,000 dealers and has an average of 15 million monthly visitors across its platforms, according to its website.
In Southeast Asia, Carsome competes with Singapore-based Carro, Indonesia’s OLX Auto and Carousell Auto Group.
Carsome is said to be delaying its dual listing plans in Singapore and the US on concerns that deteriorating macroeconomic conditions could dent its valuation, Bloomberg reported in June last year. The tech unicorn was expected to raise about $300-400 million at a valuation of about $2 billion for the IPO on NASDAQ, according to earlier reports then.
CARSOME is Southeast Asia’s largest integrated car e-commerce platform, with presence in Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and Singapore.

Transforming Business Growth Through Digital Marketing Consulting
Singapore, 9/14/2023 – From a high-flying career in Digital Marketing to starting his own successful e-commerce business then falling into depression, Howie Tan knows exactly what small business founders need to scale from 6-figures to 8-figures in revenue a year. 31 Miles Pte Ltd emerges as the first full-stacked digital business consultancy in Singapore, catering to the unique needs of small and medium enterprises.
Howie Tan’s journey from a well-established career in Digital Marketing to entrepreneurship is nothing short of inspiring. His transition from a flight attendant role with Singapore Airlines in 2015 to diving deep into the digital commerce industry showcases his dedication and passion for the field. Starting as an apprentice at a local direct-to-consumer company, Howie’s initial earnings were a mere $1000 a month. However, his relentless drive and strategic approach led the company from a monthly revenue of $100,000 to a whopping $2.4 million in just three years.
Venturing out on his own, Howie established his e-commerce company, which witnessed a revenue of $300,000 in a mere span of 3 months. His consulting expertise has benefited both local and international companies, marking his footprint in the industry.
Emerging Stronger from Life’s Trials
However, life wasn’t always smooth sailing for Howie. A personal battle with depression in 2021 made him introspect and redefine his life goals. He realized the essence of cherishing every moment and the importance of having control over one’s time. Drawing from his personal experiences and professional expertise, Howie introduced the “Systematic Scaling” method. This unique approach enables founders to upscale their businesses without feeling overwhelmed by operations. The method ranges from adding new marketing channels to optimizing business operations and introducing fresh leadership principles.
Djamel Bettahar, Co-Founder of Organifi, praises Howie’s innovative approach, stating, “I absolutely loved working with Howie! He thinks outside the box and brings in opportunities that drive revenue and profitability that might have been overlooked. He sees all sides of a challenge and goes above and beyond the initial problem to find a solution.
Howie’s mission resonates with every entrepreneur’s dream. He says, “My mission is to help founders find fulfillment in scaling their business, and enjoy the freedom that comes with running one. That’s the whole point of being an entrepreneur in the first place.”
