Jakarta Ventures Night (JVN) 2011 was held last Friday and there were two articles from DailySocial related to the event. But here’s another article on JVN that will highlight startups in technology industry who were pitching there.

JVN is held by East Ventures since last year. The first one was Jakarta Ventures Night (JVN) 2010 and Bandung Ventures Night (BVN) 2010. On this JVN 2011, before pitches from 9 startups, there were 4 startups conducting presentation. 2 startups shared their experience, Jason Lamuda from Disdus and Aria Rajasa from GantiBaju.com and after breaks, the show continued with announcement of two startups in technology recently funded by East Ventures, they were TeknoUp and Nightspade.

After presentation from TeknoUp and Nightspade, the event that was attended by investors from Japan and also local investors were continued by pitches from 9 startups. The first one was Goorme represented by Ivan Sielegar. Goorme is an online showcase providing information on culinary with community facility.

An interesting thing presented was statistic data and features in Goorme, like 3.300 menu with photos from 3.700 restaurants, recipe sharing from chef contributors and promotional programs integrated to Facebook: Facebook Resto App (synchronized menu from Goorme to FB fans page) and Facebook Promotional Apps, over 30.000 visitors every month, with traffic growth about 20% per month. Ivan also explained that now is able to cover up Goorme’s operational cost from their service.

Second pitch is Tasterous. In his presentation, Ronald explained about various features available in Tasterous. Their service is yet to be rolled out to public but Ronald said they will announce their private beta service by next week.

The third pitch was by Jeffrey, explaining his startups Bouncity. Although the service is yet to be released, Jeffrey explained some information on their services. Simply put, it is a location based application with game elements in form of badges that can be redeemed to get prizes. Bouncity application (Foursquare + Scvngr app like) will be used in various platforms like iOS, Android and BB. Bouncity will also provide marketing platform (analytics, traffic, profiling, and feedbacks) services facility for brand owners or advertisers.

The fourth pitch is Chilijump with its product Ambrosia, presented by Jansen.

Jansen said, Ambrosia has 75% Indonesian users and the rest are from other countries like Philippines and Canada.

Next presentation was by another SparxUp winner, Kartumuu.com, presented by Dhiku. In short, Kartumuu is an application we can use to send virtual cards to our friends.

Idtix.com was the next presentation. It’s not officially launched yet but from his presentation Putro of Idtix said that there are three main things Idtix will work on, event, online ticketing and social media. Idtix aims at various event in Indonesia, providing online ticket selling, ticket can be printed directly, there will be a QR code and users can invite their friends.

The presentation said that daily transaction in Bukalapak.com is around 50-100 products daily, and Fajrin also explained that Bukalapak also has chat facility where seller and buyer can communicate with each other there.

The last pitch is by Terry from SuperBestDeal.com. This service is aggregator from various daily deals service in Indonesia. In their website, users can check out discount offers from 8 different daily deals. SuperBestDeal also provide access from mobile device and will develop specific location-based advertising.

The event ended with dinner and networking. It was a great event, even though I think it was too big (compared to BVN 2010 which provided pitching room for 12 startups with half as much attendees than this JVN 2011), but I was lucky because here I met friends from Bancakan and other startup founders, Koprol (Yahoo!) trio was spotted there including other founders from East Ventures’ startups portfolio.

Will there be any startup funded after this event? We’ll see in the next few months. It will be interesting to see whether East Ventures will add more portfolios afterwards? PriceArea, announced shortly after BVN 2010 that they were funded by East Ventures, let’s see whose turn it is now.
