Backed by Licensed Financial Expertise, Opening Global Investment and Financing Channels to Ensure Student Entrepreneurship Is No Longer a Solo Battle

When the brilliant ideas born on Australian campuses face execution challenges, and when cross-cultural entrepreneurs come up against capital barriers, JobABC’s subsidiary TYJC — holder of the Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL 514063) — has officially launched a new business division: ABC Funding Hub.

The ABC Funding Hub’s asset management team operates 8–9 specialised funds in Australia, with investment coverage spanning two core areas: strategic expansion of state-owned enterprises into Australia, and vertical sectors such as agriculture, fintech, and education finance.

This entrepreneurship empowerment platform, designed specifically for international students, uses its professional financial credentials as a shield and its global capital network as a bridge to transform “creative concepts” into “commercial realities”, becoming the strongest ally for student entrepreneurs.

The Three Major Hurdles on the Entrepreneurial Path — We Help You Overcome Them One by One

In Australia, 8 out of 10 international student entrepreneurs have been blocked by the same mountains:

“Cultural mismatch” — unfamiliarity with local business regulations;
“Capital isolation” — inability to find targeted investment channels;
“Information gap” — challenges integrating cross-border resources.

These seemingly insurmountable obstacles have caused many talented young people, equipped with both international vision and professional skills, to fall short.

The creation of ABC Funding Hub is aimed precisely at breaking down these entrepreneurial barriers. We believe international students’ entrepreneurial dreams should not be constrained by reality — business ideas blending Eastern and Western wisdom deserve to shine brightly in Australia’s economic landscape.

Three Core Advantages to Build Your Entrepreneurial “Moat”

1. Compliance Foundation – Licensed Financial Protection

ABC Funding Hub is operated by TYJC, a subsidiary of JobABC, holding an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL 514063).
In Australia, an AFSL is a legal prerequisite for conducting investment banking and providing investment and financing services — without it, operations are nearly impossible and face severe legal risks.
ABC Funding Hub holds the highest-tier, fully-owned AFSL within the licensing system, eliminating compliance risks at the source and ensuring every funding match and business transaction stands up to both legal and market scrutiny.

2. Professional Leadership – Strategic Guidance from a Veteran Team

Led by Arthur Weng, Chief Investment Officer and licence holder, the professional team understands both Australian business regulations and international capital market dynamics, providing precise strategic navigation for entrepreneurial projects.

Project incubation: Business plan refinement, market research and analysis, and legal compliance guidance to ensure smooth execution.
Capital connection: Leveraging JobABC’s global resource network to match projects with Australian venture capital, Chinese capital, and international investors — no more leaving financing to chance.

· Dream realisation: Ongoing project monitoring, resource allocation, and strategic adjustments to truly make entrepreneurship in Australia a reality.

More Than Business: An Ecosystem Revolution

Adam Wang, CEO of JobABC:

“We are thrilled to launch ABC Funding Hub. This is not only our group’s fourth core business line but also a natural extension of our commitment to serving international students.”

Strategic Continuity: Our existing “Elite Talent Program,” “Project Hub,” and headhunting services already provide students with comprehensive support from career planning to project opportunities and job placements. ABC Funding Hub now completes the missing link of entrepreneurship + capital, creating a closed-loop ecosystem from learning to employment to starting a business.
Social Value: “A strong economy is the foundation for job creation, and entrepreneurship is a powerful engine to drive economic vitality. Through this platform, we aim to give more young people the opportunity to realise their personal value while injecting new momentum into Australia’s economic growth.”

Arthur Weng, CIO of JobABC:

“With over a decade in the Australian market, we have honed both precise industry insight and full-chain, hands-on experience — from investment planning to resource matching. For international student entrepreneurs, we offer fully customised support: refining business models, packaging value propositions, matching local investors, and providing end-to-end mentoring and resource integration. We have a robust, well-capitalised investment pool spanning local family offices, private equity, and cross-border strategic investors, enabling us to provide full-cycle funding — from seed to pre-IPO — with agility and flexibility.”

“We are backed by a well-structured and liquid capital pool, comprising local family offices, private equity, and cross-border strategic investors. This enables us to deliver full-cycle capital solutions—ranging from seed to pre-IPO—with both agility and precision.

We are particularly optimistic about ventures led by international students and returnee founders. Their global perspective, technical capabilities, and understanding of both domestic and Asia-Pacific markets position them uniquely for success. We are committed to supporting these founders with capital, strategic partnerships, and local market integration to accelerate their growth trajectory.”

About JobABC – 12 Years of Empowering Talent

When entrepreneurial projects are brought to life through financing, they not only inject new vitality into the Australian economy but also generate significant demand for localised job roles — from R&D and operations to production and market expansion. JobABC’s corporate recruitment services act as a vital bridge, matching project needs with local talent and turning “position listings” into “employment opportunities.”

With twelve years of deep industry experience, JobABC is far more than a simple job platform. As an AI-powered global talent hub, our Elite Talent Program opens pathways for internships and jobs, solving “skills mismatch” issues with precision matching algorithms; we also provide employer-sponsored migration pathways, aligning career development with immigration planning.

Through our dual engines of financing + recruitment, we not only contribute to Australia’s economic growth but also ensure that development benefits every hardworking professional. Over the past 12 years, we have witnessed countless international students evolve from workplace novices to industry elites — and now, ABC Funding Hub will help more of them grow from entrepreneurs to business leaders.
