East Ventures on Instagram: "@belvadevara Adamas Belva and @imanusman Iman Usman started @ruangguru , an education technology (edtech) startup in 2014. Concerned about the quality of education in Indonesia at the time, they built it to provide a marketplace that would connect students with high-quality private tutors. . That same year, the company received funding from East Ventures—a quick, less than 24 hours, decision for Managing Partner Willson Cuaca given the passion of the founders. The deal was closed at Starbucks Plaza Indonesia on July 18th, 2014, right before Belva went back to the US to continue his studies. . Today, Ruangguru is the leading edtech startup in Indonesia, with 11 million users, 200,000 private tutors, and around a thousand employees. . It has also expanded its range of products to include ruanguji, an online test preparation platform; ruanglesonline, an on-demand service that connects students with teachers to solve for difficult questions in real time; and ruangbelajar, an online self-learning platform. . As an early investor of Ruangguru, East Ventures is excited to support Belva and Iman on their journey to improve the quality of education in Indonesia. . #eastventures #startup #venturecapital #education"
