East Ventures on Instagram: "This week, we celebrated our 10-year anniversary with a birthday celebration event in Jakarta. During the event, we shared the key milestones we have achieved over the decade – chiefly on how it has created significant impacts to entrepreneurs, investors, and the start-up ecosystem. . To date, we have backed over 300 founders and helped scale up over 160 startups, including two of Indonesia’s unicorns, in conjunction with follow-on funding of some US$4 billion. In this year’s report by Preqin, we were also named as one of the “Most Consistent Top Performing Venture Capital Fund Managers” in the world. . While growing a robust startup ecosystem in Indonesia and across Asia has been a key part of our vision, we have also focused on helping to ensure that the growth was able to generate wider societal impact. We have overall contributed to more than 1.5 percent to Indonesia’s GDP, empowering 8.5 million micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), making it easier for 30 percent of Indonesian students to study more effectively, enhancing access for 60 percent of female millennials to beauty products; opening access for some 230,000 freelancers to more jobs; and helping 26 percent of Indonesian co-working space users to get their dream workplace. . These achievements would not have been possible without the support given to us by our investors – namely those who share our vision of growing a robust and sustainable business ecosystem in Asia that creates more inclusive impacts for the greater society. . As we move ahead into the next decade, we are excited at looking at how we can work more closely with our stakeholders – our investors, entrepreneurs, and startups – to bring out the best of Indonesian businesses and help them scale their impacts at a regional level. .
