Investment options

Fund a campus. Share the outcome.

Ecoboo deploys working capital into specific campuses and product lines. This page explains the three ways you can take part, what the money funds, and when you get paid.

What the capital does

It buys stock and print capacity. It is that plain.

Ecoboo is a trading business, not a fund. The capital becomes goods on a hostel shelf and paper through a printer, and the return comes out of the margin on selling them.

Capital is assigned to a named campus or line

Funds are not pooled into one general account. Each amount is deployed against a specific campus or product line so its performance can be traced back to you.

It becomes stock and print capacity

A campus opens on roughly RM1,000 of goods and RM3,000 committed to printing. That capital cycles — stock is bought, sold, and restocked from the proceeds.

Margin is split 80/20

Eighty per cent of gross profit goes to the student who made the sale. The twenty per cent retained by headquarters funds the reserve, operations, growth and any return to a contributor.

Performance is measured, weekly

Every campus reconciles its DuitNow QR takings each weekend through our AI operations layer. That reconciliation is the source of every figure reported back to you.

Compare

Three structures. Pick by the timeframe you are comfortable with.

All three sit on the same underlying trading business. What changes is the term, how the return is calculated, and how quickly you get paid.

	EIO	BIO	Trial Option
Entry from	RM10	Varies	By discussion
Target return	Around 10% over the term	Set per cycle	From 10%, agreed upfront
Term	10 months	3–9 month cycle	Until the stock cycle finishes
Driven by	General campus trading	Credit-funded working capital	One sector you choose
Best for	First-time contributors, small amounts	Structured working-capital cycles	Faster turnaround, sector conviction
Status	Open	Under review	Open

EIO

Entry from RM10

Ecoboo Investment Option

The entry structure, designed for people putting money into a business for the first time. A ten-month term against general campus trading, targeting around 10%. The RM10 entry point is deliberate — it should be an amount that lets you learn how this works without pressure.

Backed by trading across every campus

Credit-funded option

A structure that uses credit facilities as working capital, repaid over a three to nine month cycle. It is under review because debt-funded working capital magnifies a weak semester rather than absorbing it. We will talk it through with anyone interested, but we are not promoting it right now.

3–9 month repayment cycle
Repayment obligations continue even if trading dips

Why it is under review

Credit-funded working capital behaves differently from cash. In a good semester it does exactly what it is supposed to — more stock on the shelf, more turnover, repayment covered comfortably. In a weak semester the repayment schedule does not slow down to match.

That asymmetry is the whole reason it sits under review rather than on the front page. We are happy to explain the structure to anyone who asks, but we are not putting a promotional case behind something that gets harder exactly when trading gets harder.

Trial

New · sector-specific

The Trial Option

You pick the sector you believe in — meals, goodies, beverages, printing or digital — and your capital funds a new product launch inside it. The ROI is agreed upfront, starting at 10%, and you are paid once the stock cycle completes and the quota is met. Considerably faster than EIO or BIO.

ROI agreed in writing before it starts
Risk managed inside a line we already run
Paid when the stock finishes, not on a fixed calendar

See an example cycle

Say you back the bakery line. Your capital funds a run of takoyaki and cheesecakes across two campuses that already have a working field team. Posters go out, the campus groups get the drop schedule, and Personnel sell it through the normal QR rail.

Sell-through is tracked weekly. Once that stock cycle finishes and the quota is met, the agreed ROI is settled — typically far faster than a fixed ten-month term, because it depends on the product moving rather than on a calendar.

You choose the sector, so you are backing your own read of the market
Risk is managed inside a line we already run, not a cold start
ROI is fixed in writing before the cycle opens

How the Trial Option works

The Trial Option

Pick a sector. Agree the ROI. Get paid when the stock finishes.

This is the option for people with a view of their own — you think meals is the strongest line, or that printing is the steadiest. Fund that line specifically.

Start a Trial Option

You pick the sector

Meals, goodies and snacks, beverages, printing or digital. You are funding a launch inside the line you find most convincing, not the business as a whole.

We agree the ROI upfront

Return starts at 10% and is agreed in writing before the trial begins. You know the number going in — there is no formula to argue about afterwards.

The product launches on live campuses

Real Personnel sell it to real students through the normal QR rail, with poster distribution and campus groups behind it. Sell-through and margin are tracked weekly.

Risk is managed inside the sector

Because the trial sits inside a line we already run, we can move stock, adjust pricing or shift campuses mid-cycle rather than watching a bad launch play out.

You are paid when the stock finishes

Profit is realised once the stock cycle completes and the quota is met. That is typically much faster than EIO or BIO — it depends on the product moving, not on a fixed calendar.

Process

Nothing moves before it is written down.

The sequence is the same for every option, and the first step never involves a transfer.

Ecoboo Investments form Ask first

A conversation first

We go through where the business currently is, what your capital would fund and what you would reasonably expect back. Nobody is asked for money in a first conversation.

Written terms

The structure, the amount, the term and what happens in a downside scenario are set out in writing before anything moves. Verbal terms are not accepted on either side.

Deployment

The capital goes to the named campus, sector or product line and is recorded against it.

Reporting

You get periodic reporting drawn from the weekly campus reconciliation — the same numbers we run the company on.

Return or roll over

At the end of the agreed term, capital and return are settled, or rolled into a further term by explicit agreement — never automatically.

Do not proceed if…

We would rather turn someone away at this stage than have the conversation after a bad semester.

You would need to borrow, use BNPL or take a loan to take part
This is tuition, rent, or money someone else is depending on
You need the money back on a specific date
You have not read the risk disclosure
You are expecting a guaranteed, bank-style fixed return

Mission

Building a genuine community of entrepreneurs inside university.

Ecoboo's real goal was never to sell snacks. It is to build a genuine community of entrepreneurs inside university — people who leave campus having actually run something rather than having studied it. Every campus we open adds more people to that community, and the intention is that all of them grow with us.

Beyond that, the founder's long-term intention is to convert his own equity share into a non-profit vehicle, with the Ecoboo community choosing the humanitarian causes it supports. That is an intention about a future structure, not a commitment binding any capital today.

Join the community

The second company

Want something bigger than snacks? That is 3E2.

Ecoboo is a student entrepreneurship operation — it teaches people to run a business and pays them for doing it. 3E2 is a separate company from the same founder, built as an actual trading operation, and it is raising now.
