Nuren Group

Nuren Group is a Malaysian-based media company that operates female oriented e-commerce and community websites, including wedding portal Wedding.com.my and baby product website Motherhood.com.my among others.

History

Nuren Group was founded in 2013 by Petrina Goh, Kelvin Leow, Stacey Lee, and Alice Ong. It obtained seed funding in 2014. In 2016 it raised an additional $2 million in a Series A funding round led by Gobi Partners, and additional funding through crowdfunding platform Crowdo.

Nuren originally launched in Malaysia and has since expanded into Southeast Asia.

Platforms

The company operates three websites focused on life stages for women and consist of Wedding.com.my, Nuren.sg, Risawedding.com and Motherhood.com.my.

Wedding.com.my is Nuren Group's online wedding portal and is considered Malaysia's top wedding platform. The website matches brides and wedding vendors and is monetized through fees paid by merchants. The website originally launched in Malaysia and later expanded into Southeast Asia. The idea for Wedding.com.my was spurred by co-founder Petrina Goh's personal experience and frustration of trying to plan her wedding. The platform also expanded in Singapore with Nuren.sg and in Thailand with the launch of its website Risawedding.

Motherhood launched in the second quarter of 2016 and is an e-commerce shop for baby products. It also contains a marketplace and director for service providers. The idea for the website was also from co-founder Goh's personal experience from when she had her first child.
