East Ventures on Instagram: "Cicil's co-founders Leslie Lim and Edward Widjonarko first met each other while they were pursuing their MBAs at INSEAD. Lim was working in banking as he wanted to return to the financial sector after INSEAD, while Widjonarko was Head of Product at Bilna, an East Ventures-backed e-commerce startup. . Neither had any experience in founding startups. Still, they took a leap of faith together and decided to build @cicil.co.id —which focuses on finding solutions for financial problems among Indonesian students—in 2016 after completing their studies. East Ventures invested in Cicil in that same year. . Through Cicil, Indonesian students can borrow money to buy tools or devices that are crucial for their studies. To date, it has already helped more than 30,000 students in 165 universities all over the archipelago. . As one of its early backers, East Ventures is excited to be part of the journey to help Indonesian students fulfill their dreams. . #eastventures #startup #venturecapital #fintech"
