Founders, VIPs and guests at the Grand Opening
The Dune @ Light Grey, a forward-thinking co-working space for entrepreneurs, has officially launched at T6, Light Grey in Sungai Buloh on October 22, 2024. Designed as a supportive ecosystem, The Dune offers entrepreneurs a full range of services, including advisory support, business matching, incubator programs, mentorship, and peer-to-peer learning to foster growth.
With the theme “Sands of Time,” the launch featured VIPs from MDEC, Petronas, Sime Darby, and CCB, as well as a lively cultural performance lineup. The space’s focus is to address common entrepreneurial challenges, such as funding, team building, and networking, offering vital support to both new and established business owners.

“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,” Nicholas Teh, Co-Founder of The Dune said. “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. That is how we believe business owners can bridge these gaps; they must collaborate with each other and support one another.”
The Dune’s standout feature is its essential advisory services addressing various business challenges for both new and established entrepreneurs. With 45% of Malaysians reluctant to start a business due to fear of failure, there’s a clear need for not only resources but also community support.

To meet these demands, The Dune offers comprehensive advisory services, including legal, accounting, tax, and company secretarial assistance, bridging the gap in financing and education for SMEs. Its partnerships with top firms and government entities provide entrepreneurs with direct access to investors and mentors, creating a robust support network for business growth.
In addition to business matching and investor connections, The Dune provides accelerator programs, peer-to-peer learning, and workshops designed to enhance Malaysia’s entrepreneurial ecosystem. As the landscape evolves, The Dune aims to be a key player, fostering innovation and development to support entrepreneurs at every stage of their journey.
