Enterprise Explores the importance of engaging with grassroots entrepreneurs and the role of community building here with Inbaraj Suppiah, Founder of JomHack, a familiar name to many in the ecosystem, given his community work both online and in the real world through in-person sessions, such as the KL Startup Summit in July.

We’ll get into grassroots entrepreneurship, but also some key thoughts on the criticisms around KL20 and the perceived disconnect between grassroots entrepreneurs and government programs, as well as how we can better address this gap in the startup community.
