SUNGAI BULOH - As the business world evolves, entrepreneurs need strong communities to achieve lasting success.
To support this demand, The Dune @ Light Grey—a modern co-working space for entrepreneurs looking for support—has officially opened its doors.
The space provides exclusive resources, including business advisory services, incubator programmes, mentorship and peer-to-peer learning, making it a complete ecosystem for entrepreneurial growth.
The Dune co-founder Nicholas Teh highlighted the challenges that many new entrepreneurs encounter, including limited knowledge, skills, funding and networking opportunities.
"New entrepreneurs often face significant resistance and many obstacles such as lacking knowledge or business skills, not having a strong enough team, not having enough funding, or even simply the lack of time and resources for business networking.
"For my co-founders and I, our entrepreneurial success only came once we shared our experiences as founders with each other and built an entrepreneurial ecosystem made of fellow entrepreneurs, investors and business partners," he said in the opening ceremony at T6, Light Grey on Tuesday.
He emphasised the importance of collaboration and building a supportive ecosystem with other entrepreneurs, investors, and business partners.
"With that in mind, The Dune is specifically intended to facilitate the kind of direct connection, guidance, and peer-to-peer learning that can ensure business success," he said.
One standout feature of The Dune is its comprehensive advisory services, addressing common business challenges for both startups and established entrepreneurs.
With many Malaysians hesitant to start a business due to fear of failure, The Dune offers crucial legal, accounting, tax, and company secretarial services.
It also provides direct links to potential investors and mentors through partnerships with leading firms and government bodies, offering a complete support system for business growth.
In addition to business matching, The Dune offers accelerator and incubator programmes, peer-to-peer learning, and workshops, all aimed at strengthening Malaysia's entrepreneurship ecosystem.
As Malaysia’s business landscape continues to grow, The Dune aspires to become a pivotal hub for business innovation and development, supporting enterprises at every stage.
