89、ecially the risks of investing inour Ordinary Shares,discussed under“Risk Factors,”before deciding whether to buy our Ordinary Shares.Our Mission Our mission is to provide customers innovative solar installation services,promote eco-friendly resources and achieve carbon-neutrality.Overview We are a
90、dedicated solar solutions provider in Malaysia,offering end-to-end services for commercial and industrial sectors,as well as large-scale solarpower projects,encompassing project design,engineering,and comprehensive project management.Our primary focus is on two key segments:large-scalesolar projects
91、 and commercial and industrial(C&I)solar projects.Large-scale solar projects are utility scale solar PV power plants with installed generating capacity of 1 MWac or more.Large-scale solar projects areground mounted and are designed to supply power to the power grid.For the majority of our large-scal
92、e solar projects,we usually act as the contractor tothe project awarder,who is the main contractor for a solar project.As an EPCC provider,we assume most of the responsibility for the entire projectlifecycle,from design and engineering to material procurement,construction,installation,integration,an
93、d commissioning.After the acceptance of ourprojects by our clients,we provide performance warranty during the defect liability period,which is typically 24 months.See“BusinessOur ServicesProject FlowPost-completionWarranties and defect liabilities.”Our goal is to ensure seamless project execution,ad
94、hering to the highest industrystandards and delivering optimal performance and reliability.For the fiscal years ended December 31,2024,2023,and 2022,our revenue generated fromlarge-scale solar projects was RM68,864,991(approximately US$15,387,105),RM131,988,574 and RM51,761,466,respectively,accounti
95、ng forapproximately 76%,89%,and 82%of our total revenue for the respective years.C&I projects are smaller scale solar projects where the solar PV systems are installed on rooftops and are designed to generate electricity for commercialand industrial properties for their own consumption,such as facto
96、ries,warehouses and commercial stores.For C&I projects,we usually sign a servicecontract with the project owner and act as the main contractor.As the main contractor,we engage in comprehensive services encompassing project design,engineering,equipment procurement,construction,and commissioning.The C
97、&I projects also come with a 24 month defect liability period and we provideperformance warranty during this period.We ensure that our C&I projects are customized to meet the unique energy needs of each customer,providingthem with efficient and sustainable solar solutions.For the fiscal years ended
98、December 31,2024,2023,and 2022,our revenue generated from C&Iprojects was RM21,479,597(approximately US$4,799,374),RM16,065,399,and RM11,748,000,respectively,accounting for approximately 24%,11%,and 18%of our total revenue for the respective years.Additionally,we offer operation and maintenance(“O&M

232、Factors Investing in our Ordinary Shares involves significant risks.You should carefully consider all of the information in this prospectus before making aninvestment in our Ordinary Shares.Below please find a summary of the principal risks we face,organized under relevant headings.These risks aredi
233、scussed more fully in the section titled“Risk Factors.”Risks Related to Our Business and Industry Risks and uncertainties related to our business include,but are not limited to,the following:our limited operating history in a rapidly evolving industry makes it difficult to accurately forecast our fu
234、ture operating results and evaluate ourbusiness prospects(see page 16 of this prospectus);our business is project based and we may not be able to continuously secure large-scale solar projects to support our high growth in revenue andprofit(see page 16 of this prospectus);we depend on our subcontrac
235、tors to perform part of our services(see page 18 of this prospectus);we face risks associated with concentration of revenue from a few large clients.Any interruption in operations in such major clients may have anadverse effect on our business,financial condition,and results of operations(see page 1
236、8 of this prospectus);we are exposed to risks related to concentration of suppliers as we rely on a few major suppliers,and such concentration may have a materialadverse effect on our business and results of operations(see page 18 of this prospectus);our business and financial performance are affect
237、ed by project execution(see page 19 of this prospectus);we depend on the retention and procurement of certain approvals,registrations,permits and licenses(see page 19 of this prospectus);our business is subject to inherent risks in the solar energy industry(see page 19 of this prospectus);102025/5/2

239、 of power generationcompared to using solar PV systems(see page 20 of this prospectus);the industry in which we operate is highly competitive,and we may not be able to compete successfully against existing or new competitors,which could reduce our market share and adversely affect our competitive po
240、sition,financial performance,and results of operations(see page 20of this prospectus);and we may be unsuccessful in expanding and operating our business internationally,which could adversely affect our results of operations(see page23 of this prospectus).Risks Related to this Offering by the Selling
241、 Securityholder and Transactions under the Purchase Agreement Sales of a substantial number of our securities in the public market by the Selling Securityholder and/or by our existing securityholders couldcause the price of our Ordinary Shares to fall(see page 26 of this prospectus);The Selling Secu
242、rityholder has acquired and may purchase Ordinary Shares at a price below the current trading price of the Ordinary Shares,andmay experience a positive rate of return based on the current trading price.Future investors in the Company may not experience a similar rate ofreturn(see page 26 of this pro
243、spectus);We may be required to make cash payments or issue a substantial number of Ordinary Shares under the Purchase Agreement,which could reducethe amount of cash available to fund our operations or dilute the ownership percentage held by our investors(see page 27 of this prospectus);It is not pos
244、sible to predict the actual number of Purchase Shares,if any,we will sell under the Purchase Agreement to the Selling Securityholder,or the actual gross proceeds resulting from the Purchase Agreement(see page 27 of this prospectus);Investors who buy Ordinary Shares from the Selling Securityholder at
245、 different times will likely pay different prices(see page 28 of thisprospectus);and If the Company ceases to qualify as a foreign private issuer it would become subject to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d)and would have to obtainshareholder approval for the issuance of Purchase Shares under the Purchase
246、Agreement that exceed the limits set under this rule(see page 28 ofthis prospectus).Risks Relating to the Ownership of Our Securities In addition to the risks described above,we are subject to general risks and uncertainties relating to this offering and the trading market,including,but notlimited t
247、o,the following:there has been no public market for our Ordinary Shares prior to our initial public offering,and you may not be able to resell our Ordinary Sharesat or above the price you pay for them,or at all(see page 28 of this prospectus);we have incurred substantial increased costs as a result
248、of being a public company(see page 30 of this prospectus);substantial future sales of our Ordinary Shares or the anticipation of future sales of our Ordinary Shares in the public market could cause the priceof our Ordinary Shares to decline(see page 31 of this prospectus);we do not intend to pay div
249、idends for the foreseeable future(see page 31 of this prospectus);the market price of our Ordinary Shares may be volatile or may decline regardless of our operating performance,and you may not be able to resellyour shares at or above the price you paid(see page 31 of this prospectus);112025/5/21 15:

251、treme volatility that wasseemingly unrelated to the underlying performance of the respective company.We may experience similar volatility,which may make it difficultfor prospective investors to assess the value of our Ordinary Shares(see page 29 of this prospectus);if we fail to implement and mainta
252、in an effective system of internal controls or fail to remediate the material weaknesses in our internal controlover financial reporting that have been identified,we may fail to meet our reporting obligations or be unable to accurately report our results ofoperations or prevent fraud,and investor co
253、nfidence and the market price of our Ordinary Shares may be materially and adversely affected(seepage 30 of this prospectus);our management has broad discretion to determine how to use the funds received in the Purchase Agreement and may use them in ways that maynot enhance our results of operations
254、 or the price of our Ordinary Shares(see page 28 of this prospectus);if we cease to qualify as a foreign private issuer,we would be required to comply fully with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Actapplicable to U.S.domestic issuers,and we would incur significant additional legal,accountin
255、g and other expenses that we would not incur as aforeign private issuer(see page 32 of this prospectus);because we are a foreign private issuer and are exempt from certain corporate governance standards established by the national securitiesexchanges that are applicable to U.S.issuers,you have less
256、protection than you would have if we were a domestic issuer(see page 32 of thisprospectus);if we cannot continue to satisfy the listing requirements and other rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market,our securities may be delisted,which couldnegatively impact the price of our securities and your ability t
257、o sell them(see page 33 of this prospectus);we are an“emerging growth company”within the meaning of the Securities Act,and if we take advantage of certain exemptions from disclosurerequirements available to emerging growth companies,this will make it more difficult to compare our performance with ot
258、her public companies(see page 35 of this prospectus);and you may have difficulty enforcing judgments against us(see page 35 of this prospectus).Corporate Information Our principal executive office is located at No.17,Jalan Astana 1D,Bandar Bukit Raja,41050 Klang,Selangor Darul Ehsan,Malaysia,and our

261、our prospects and results ofoperations may depend on future developments of the COVID-19 pandemic,which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted as of the date of thisprospectus.The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business going forward will depend on a range of factors which we are not a
262、ble to accuratelypredict,including the duration and scope of the pandemic,a repeat of the spike in the number of COVID-19 cases,the geographic regions impacted,theimpact of the pandemic on economic activity and the nature and severity of measures adopted by governments,including restrictions on trav
263、el,mandates toavoid large gatherings and orders to self-quarantine or shelter in place.The COVID-19 pandemic could also limit the ability of customers,suppliers andbusiness partners to perform.Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided,we may continue to experience an adverse impact to our busine
264、ss as aresult of the COVID-19 pandemics global economic impact,including any economic recession that has occurred or may occur in the future that will havean impact in the growth of the solar energy industry.See“Risk Factors Risks Related to Our Business and Industry The ongoing effects of the COVID

267、the JumpstartOur Business Startups Act of 2012,or the“JOBS Act.”An“emerging growth company”may take advantage of reduced reporting requirements that areotherwise applicable to larger public companies.In particular,as an emerging growth company,we:may present only two years of audited financial state
268、ments and only two years of related Managements Discussion and Analysis of FinancialCondition and Results of Operations;are not required to provide a detailed narrative disclosure discussing our compensation principles,objectives and elements and analyzing howthose elements fit with our principles a
269、nd objectives,which is commonly referred to as“compensation discussion and analysis”;are not required to obtain an attestation and report from our auditors on our managements assessment of our internal control over financialreporting pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002;are not required to obt
270、ain a non-binding advisory vote from our shareholders on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements(commonly referred to as the“say-on-pay,”“say-on frequency,”and“say-on-golden-parachute”votes);are exempt from certain executive compensation disclosure provisions requiring a pay-for-perf
271、ormance graph and chief executive officer pay ratiodisclosure;are eligible to claim longer phase-in periods for the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards under 107 of the JOBS Act;and will not be required to conduct an evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting u
272、ntil our second annual report on Form 20-Ffollowing the effectiveness of our initial public offering.We intend to take advantage of all of these reduced reporting requirements and exemptions,including the longer phase-in periods for the adoption of newor revised financial accounting standards under
273、107 of the JOBS Act.Our election to use the phase-in periods may make it difficult to compare ourfinancial statements to those of non-emerging growth companies and other emerging growth companies that have opted out of the phase-in periods under107 of the JOBS Act.Under the JOBS Act,we may take adva
274、ntage of the above-described reduced reporting requirements and exemptions until we no longer meet the definitionof an emerging growth company.The JOBS Act provides that we would cease to be an“emerging growth company”at the end of the fiscal year in whichthe fifth anniversary of our initial sale of
275、 common equity pursuant to a registration statement declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933,asamended(the“Securities Act”)occurred,if we have more than$1.235 billion in annual revenue,have more than$700 million in market value of ourOrdinary Shares held by non-affiliates,or issue more th
276、an$1 billion in principal amount of non-convertible debt over a three-year period.132025/5/21 15:57sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1989930/000121390025045533/ea0234958-f1_founder.htmhttps:/www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1989930/000121390025045533/ea0234958-f1_founder.htm23/200 Foreign Private Issuer St
277、atus We are a foreign private issuer within the meaning of the rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,as amended(the“Exchange Act”).As such,weare exempt from certain provisions applicable to United States domestic public companies.For example:we are not required to provide as many Exchange
278、Act reports,or as frequently,as a domestic public company;for interim reporting,we are permitted to comply solely with our home country requirements,which are less rigorous than the rules that apply todomestic public companies;we are not required to provide the same level of disclosure on certain is
279、sues,such as executive compensation;we are exempt from provisions of Regulation FD aimed at preventing issuers from making selective disclosures of material information;we are not required to comply with the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies,consents,or authorizatio
280、ns in respect ofa security registered under the Exchange Act;and we are not required to comply with Section 16 of the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their share ownership and tradingactivities and establishing insider liability for profits realized from any“short-swing”tra
281、ding transaction.We will be required to file an annual report on Form 20-F within four months of the end of each fiscal year.Press releases relating to financial results andmaterial events will also be furnished to the SEC on Form 6-K.However,the information we are required to file with or furnish t
282、o the SEC will be lessextensive and less timely compared to that required to be filed with the SEC by U.S.domestic issuers.As a result,you may not be afforded the sameprotections or information that would be made available to you were you investing in a U.S.domestic issuer.The Nasdaq listing rules p
283、rovide that a foreign private issuer may follow the practices of its home country,which for us is the British Virgin Islands,ratherthan the Nasdaq rules as to certain corporate governance requirements,including the requirement that the issuer have a majority of independent directors,the audit commit
284、tee,compensation committee,and nominating and corporate governance committee requirements,the requirement to disclose third-partydirector and nominee compensation,and the requirement to distribute annual and interim reports.A foreign private issuer that follows a home countrypractice in lieu of one
285、or more of the listing rules is required to disclose in its annual reports filed with the SEC each requirement that it does not follow anddescribe the home country practice followed by the issuer in lieu of such requirements.We intend to take advantage of these exceptions to the Nasdaqcorporate gove
286、rnance rules.See“Risk Factors Risks Related to this Offering by the Selling Securityholder and Transactions under the PurchaseAgreement and Risks Relating to the Ownership of Our Securities Because we are a foreign private issuer and are exempt from certain corporategovernance standards established
287、by the national securities exchanges that are applicable to U.S.issuers,you have less protection than you would have ifwe were a domestic issuer.”Although as a foreign private issuer that follows home country practice we are not required to have an audit committee,compensation committee or nominatio
288、n committee,we currently have in place an audit committee with three independent directors,a compensationcommittee with three independent directors and a nomination committee with three independent directors,however,we are not required to do so and maycease to do so in the future so long as we remai

299、ith all of the other information set forth in this prospectus,including the section titled“Managements Discussion andAnalysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”and our consolidated financial statements and related notes.If any of these risks actually occurs,our business,financial cond
300、ition,results of operations,or cash flow could be materially and adversely affected,which could cause the trading price of ourOrdinary Shares to decline,resulting in a loss of all or part of your investment.The risks described below and discussed in other parts of this prospectus arenot the only one
301、s that we face.Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our business.You should onlyconsider investing in our Ordinary Shares if you can bear the risk of loss of your entire investment.Risks Related to Our Business and Industry Our limited opera
302、ting history in a rapidly evolving industry makes it difficult to accurately forecast our future operating results and evaluate our businessprospects.We commenced operations through our subsidiary Founder Energy(Malaysia)in April 2021 and have a limited operating history.Members of ourmanagement tea
303、m have been working together only for a short period of time and may still be in the process of exploring approaches to running our Companyand reaching consensus among themselves,which may affect the efficiency and results of our operation.Due to our limited operating history,our historicalgrowth ra
304、te may not be indicative of our future performance.Our future performance may be more susceptible to certain risks than a company with a longeroperating history in the same or a different industry.Many of the factors discussed below could adversely affect our business and prospects and futureperform

306、ving solar energy industry;our ability to attract and retain qualified and skilled employees;our ability to effectively manage our growth;and our ability to compete effectively with our competitors in the solar energy industry.We may not be successful in addressing the risks and uncertainties listed
307、 above,among others,which may materially and adversely affect our business,resultsof operations,financial condition,and future prospects.Our business is project based and we may not be able to continuously secure large-scale solar projects to support our high growth in revenue and profit.For the fis
308、cal years ended December 31,2022,2023,and 2024,our revenue generated from large-scale solar projects services was RM51,761,466,RM131,988,574,and RM68,864,991(approximately US$15,387,105),respectively,accounting for 82%,89%,and 76%of our total revenue,respectively.Forthe fiscal years ended December 3
309、1,2022,2023,and 2024,our total revenue was RM63,509,466,RM148,053,973,and RM90,344,588(approximatelyUS$20,186,479),respectively,representing a growth rate of 133%from fiscal year 2022 to fiscal year 2023,and a negative growth rate of 39%from fiscalyear 2023 to fiscal year 2024.For the same fiscal ye
310、ars,our net income was RM3,943,506,RM7,147,068,and net loss of RM5,150,005(approximatelyUS$1,150,711),respectively,representing a growth rate of 81%from fiscal year 2022 to fiscal year 2023,and a negative growth rate of 172%from fiscal year2023 to fiscal year 2024.The nature of our EPCC services is
311、project based.The project-based nature of our business brings with it a risk of not being able toconsistently secure large-scale solar projects,which could impact our ability to support revenue and profit growth.Large-scale solar projects typically havelengthy development cycles,averaging between 13
312、 to 19 months,which introduces uncertainty into our project pipeline and financial projections.162025/5/21 15:57sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1989930/000121390025045533/ea0234958-f1_founder.htmhttps:/www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1989930/000121390025045533/ea0234958-f1_founder.htm26/200 The extended
313、 duration of large-scale solar projects poses several challenges.The lengthy development phase increases the time between securing a project andgenerating revenue from it.This time gap can strain cash flow and working capital,potentially affecting our ability to meet financial obligations and invest
314、 infuture projects.The prolonged timeline also increases exposure to market fluctuations,regulatory changes,and other external factors that may impact projectviability and profitability.In addition,the process of securing large-scale solar projects is typically competitive and subject to various fac
315、tors beyond ourcontrol,such as government policies,incentives,and market dynamics.If we experience delays or face challenges in securing large-scale projects,it maymaterially and adversely affect our business,results of operations,financial condition,and future prospects.If our subsidiary Founder En
316、ergy(Malaysia)fails to comply with the Construction Industry Development Board Malaysia Act 1994(“CIDBA 1994”),itsbusiness operations could be materially and adversely affected.The CIDBA 1994 regulates the establishment of Malaysian Construction Industry Development Board(“CIDB”)and provides for its
317、 function in relation tothe construction industry and all matters connected therewith throughout Malaysia.Under CIDBA 1994,contractors are mandated to register with CIDB andpossess a valid certificate of registration to undertake construction works.Additionally,Section 34(1)of the CIDBA 1994 require
318、s contractors to declare andsubmit awarded construction contracts to CIDB.As of the date of this prospectus,our subsidiary,Founder Energy(Malaysia)holds a valid Grade G7 certificate of registration issued under CIDBA 1994.However,Founder Energy(Malaysia)breached Section 34(1)of the CIDBA 1994 by fai
319、ling to declare and submit 31 contracts to CIDB.Among thesecontracts,12 were awarded to Founder Energy(Malaysia)as the main contractor,with six contracts exceeding RM500,000 in value,while the remaining 19were awarded to Founder Energy(Malaysia)as a sub-contractor.Founder Energy(Malaysia)potentially
320、 faces a fine of up to RM1,550,000.As a result of the breach,Founder Energy(Malaysia)may be subject to fines or penalties or its certificate of registration may be subject to suspension orrevocation,which could result in a material adverse impact on our operations.Although Founder Energy(Malaysia)ha
321、s rectified this non-compliance bypromptly declaring and submitting these contracts with CIDB,Founder Energy(Malaysia)is still subject to risk of fines and/or regulatory actions from theCIDB.As of the date of this prospectus,Founder Energy(Malaysia)has not been fined or issued with any notice of non
322、-compliance from CIDB or any otherrelevant authorities.See“Regulations Regulations Relating to Our EPCC Services in Malaysia Construction Industry Development Board Malaysia Act1994.”If our subsidiary Founder Assets fails to secure approval from the Energy Commission of Malaysia,its business operati
323、ons could be materially andadversely affected.In February 2023,our subsidiary,Founder Assets,entered into a deed of novation with two Malaysian entities,party A and party B,and maintain a solar PVsystem,while party B agrees to purchase power generated from the system for a 20-year term.See“Business
324、Our Growth Strategies Expand OurInvestment in Renewable Energy Assets,Such as Solar PV Systems.”To carry out this project,Founder Assets successfully applied for and were granted aLicense for Public Installation by the Energy Commission of Malaysia.This license authorizes the use,operation,and maint
325、enance of a solar PV system forthe supply of electricity to party B under the PPA.However,this license imposes restrictions on changes in shareholders and the shareholding structure ofFounder Assets.As of the date of this prospectus,the project has been fully completed and is operating in compliance
326、 with all applicable laws;and FounderAssets is actively in the process of seeking written approval from the Energy Commission of Malaysia concerning changes in shareholding structure resultingfrom Founder Groups initial public offering(the“IPO”).Even though failure to secure such approval will not m
327、aterially affect our financial conditions,wemay face the risk of having our License for Public Installation suspended or revoked by the Energy Commission of Malaysia.,leading to adverse effects onFounder Assets business operations.However,as of the date of this prospectus,we have confirmed that we h
328、ave not received any notice of suspension orrevocation that would render the license invalid.172025/5/21 15:57sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1989930/000121390025045533/ea0234958-f1_founder.htmhttps:/www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1989930/000121390025045533/ea0234958-f1_founder.htm27/200 We face risks
329、associated with concentration of revenue from a few large clients.Any interruption in operations in such major clients may have an adverseeffect on our business,financial condition,and results of operations.In fiscal year 2024,we derived a significant portion of our revenue from two customers,JS Sol
330、ar Sdn.Bhd.and Samaiden Sdn.Bhd.,which contributed23.25%and 11.55%of our total revenue,respectively.In fiscal year 2023,we derived a significant portion of our revenue from three customers,Atlantic BlueSdn Bhd.,Samaiden Sdn Bhd.and Customer S,which contributed 29.87%,15.60%,and 10.60%of our total re
331、venue,respectively.Similarly,in fiscal year2022,we derived a significant portion of our revenue from two customers,Atlantic Blue Sdn.Bhd.and Savelite Engineering Sdn.Bhd.,which contributed39.67%and 10.79%of our total revenue,respectively.We are not dependent on the above-mentioned customers for our
332、business continuity as our contracts with them are on project basis and we have been able tosecure projects from different customers over the last three fiscal years and to date.As of December 31,2024,we had two on-going large-scale solar projectsand eight on-going C&I project.As of the date hereof,
333、we have three on-going large-scale solar projects and five on-going C&I projects.See“Business OurSolar Projects.”However,the substantial contribution of revenue from specific customers indicates that our financial performance is heavily reliant on theirproject requirements and timelines.If there are delays,cancellations,or reduced project activity from these customers,our revenue stream could besi
