<h4 style="text-align: justify;">The standout fund in Indonesia to date has been East Ventures, an early-stage VC based in Jakarta and Singapore that has made 26 investments since its founding in 2010. Many of the current Indonesian funds are primarily focused on incubation and seed funding, and therefore tend to be sub-US$ 1 million. The big deals to date have mainly been acquisitions by Indonesia's media conglomerates, although larger growth-stage tech funds are becoming increasingly active.</h4>

<p style="text-align: justify;">East Ventures was the first investment fund to focus on the tech sector in Indonesia. It was formed in 2010 with backing from a mix of Indonesian and Japanese investors. The fund focuses solely on the consumer market and is an early-stage investor, specialising in pre-launch and smaller-scale high-growth tech companies. Its big successes to date have been the sales of Disdus (to Groupon) and Kaskus (to Kompas), plus its early investment in Tokpedia.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">GDP Ventures</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">GDP Ventures was set up in 2010 as an offshoot of the Djarum Group, Indonesia's fifth largest conglomerate. GDP was initially established as a growth-fund to invest in more mature tech companies with an existing track record, and its first investment was in Kaskus, Indonesia's largest community portal. But in 2011 the fund launched the E-commerce site Blibli.com as a startup, albeit a well-funded one. GDP also owns the incubator MerahPutih (detailed separately below).</p>
