East Ventures on Instagram: "William Tanuwijaya and Ferry Unardi's journey in building @tokopedia and @traveloka started with a humble beginning. At our 10th Anniversary event, they shared interesting stories that showed their character since the early days up until it became unicorns. . William recalled in living in a house with a leaked roof. "I still lived in a house with a yearly rent of $1,200 even after Tokopedia raised $100 million. Even after my wedding, my wife and I continued to stay in the leaked house for a couple of years. But that's true love, right?" . Willson Cuaca surprised Ferry Unardi by showing an old deck of Traveloka from 2012 which shows that he only got IDR 1.5 million (around US$100) as his monthly salary in the early years (it is the regional minimum wage in Jakarta). According to Ferry, he did it to set the correct spirit for the early employees and believe he could still live okay with that salary at the time. "It all starts with the founder. Every single thing that you do will be imitated and amplified into others," he said. . At the end of the session, we presented each of them with a newborn unicorn statue, as a reflection of how we had leap of faith in their early days and believed that there was "something" (might or might not be a horn). .
