The industry expands as corporate players go into venture deals and as of October 2018 there are 65 registered VCs in Indonesia. However, not all of them are active and some are actually investing in very different types of deals. 

There are also foreign VCs who frequently visit Indonesia and actually invest in deals in Indonesia – some are already starting the process of setting up an office in Jakarta. We believe more will follow suit. 

By no means, we claim the list to be comprehensive. We will update the Active VCs in Indonesia list should you know some of which we haven’t mentioned, please reach us here: [email protected]
