More and more young graduates are keen on taking the entrepreneurship route in lieu of the traditional 9 to 5 employment.
Today, there are crowdfunding sites like pitchIN, or even government-linked agencies like Cradle Fund Sdn Bhd, that are certainly pushing this agenda by democratising the funding process for startups.
