Intudo Ventures, the Indonesian market-focused venture capitalist, closed its third managed fund “Intudo Ventures Fund III”. The value has reached $115 million or equivalent to IDR 1.6 trillion, in less than three months of fundraising. In total, the company has managed funds of approximately $200 million.

Various fund managers and organizations are involved as limited partners, from the United States, Europe, and Asia. Some of these include Black Kite Capital, Koh Boon Hwee’s family office; Wasson Enterprises, the family office of former Walgreens’ CEO, Gregory Wasson; PIDC, an investment arm of a Taiwanese conglomerate, and others. There were also 10+ tech unicorn founders and 30+ Indonesian conglomerates involved.

The mission remains, the funds will be focused on investing in Indonesian startups. Moreover, today is a good momentum with the increasing middle class and digital services consumption.

“Acting as a domestic ‘herder’, Intudo Ventures supports founders through a mix of hyperlocal and global best practices, which enables us to consistently create more profitable results for founders,” Intudo Ventures’ Founding Partner, Patrick Yip said. “Seeing the founders’ growth, we are more optimistic in Indonesia than ever before; and excited to work with the next generation of Indonesian entrepreneurs.”

Investment hypothesis

Intudo Ventures Fund III will be channeled to startups in agriculture, B2B solution developers, education, finance, insurance, health, logistics, new retail, and entertainment. It is to build a concentrated portfolio of 12 to 14 local startups. The ticket size will be around $1 million to $10 million.

From a business perspective, Intudo invests in three categories of companies. First, early-stage companies in not-very-popular sectors — most of them having difficulty in raising fund. Second, invest in new business verticals that demonstrate breakthrough potential and strong profitability pathways. And third, a leader in a business vertical that has been validated by the market.

“Over the past five years, the market has validated our ‘Indonesian-only’ investment approach, demonstrating the importance of a single-country-focused managed fund […] In Indonesia, Intudo has consistently stepped up to deliver value to founders before and after investment. We proud to play a role in making Indonesia the next emerging market success story,” Intudo Ventures’ Founding Partner, Eddy Chan added.

In addition, there are many factors to consider in investing, from commercial distribution (including the startup’s product prowess and intellectual property), regulatory compliance, and specialization in deep technology.

Intudo investment

Intudo Ventures debuted in June 2017, in partnership with local and global investors. There are already 22 local startups that have received investment from the two previously managed funds, with the list as follows:

Berita, , , , , ,

Intudo Ventures, pemodal ventura yang fokus ke pasar Indonesia, mengumumkan penutupan dana kelolaan ketiga mereka “Intudo Ventures Fund III”. Nilai yang berhasil dibukukan mencapai $115 juta atau setara 1,6 triliun Rupiah, dalam kurang dari tiga bulan penggalangan dana. Sehingga secara keseluruhan perusahaan sejauh ini telah mengelola dana sekitar $200 juta.

Berbagai pengelola dana dan organisasi terlibat sebagai limited partner, berasal dari Amerika Serikat, Eropa, dan Asia. Beberapa di antaranya Black Kite Capital, family office milik Koh Boon Hwee; Wasson Enterprises, family office milik mantan CEO Walgreens Gregory Wasson; PIDC, sebuah lengan investasi konglomerat Taiwan, dan lain-lain. Ada juga 10+ tech unicorn founder dan 30+ konglomerat Indonesia yang turut terlibat.

Misinya masih sama, dana akan difokuskan untuk berinvestasi ke startup Indonesia. Apalagi saat ini sedang berada di momentum yang baik, yakni peningkatan kelas menengah dan konsumsi layanan digital.

“Bertindak sebagai ‘penggembala’ dalam negeri, Intudo Ventures mendukung para pendiri melalui perpaduan praktik terbaik hiperlokal dan global, yang memungkinkan kami untuk secara konsisten menciptakan hasil yang lebih menguntungkan bagi para pendiri,” kata Founding Partner Intudo Ventures Patrick Yip. “Menyaksikan ketangguhan dan pertumbuhan para pendiri, kami lebih optimis di Indonesia daripada sebelumnya; dan bersemangat untuk bekerja dengan generasi pengusaha Indonesia berikutnya.”

Hipotesis investasi

Intudo Ventures Fund III akan digunakan untuk berinvestasi ke startup di bidang pertanian, pengembang solusi B2B, pendidikan, finansial, asuransi, kesehatan, logistik, new retail, dan hiburan. Targetnya bisa membangun portofolio terkonsentrasi dari 12 s/d 14 startup lokal. Adapun nilai investasi yang akan diberikan berkisar $1 juta s/d $10 juta.

Dari sisi bisnis, Intudo berinvestasi pada tiga kategori perusahaan. Pertama, perusahaan tahap awal pada sektor yang belum banyak dilirik — mayoritas mereka sulit mendapatkan dana. Kedua, berinvestasi pada vertikal bisnis baru yang menunjukkan potensi terobosan dan jalur profitabilitas yang kuat. Dan ketiga, pemimpin pada vertikal bisnis yang sudah tervalidasi oleh pasar.

“Selama lima tahun terakhir, pasar telah memvalidasi pendekatan investasi ‘khusus Indonesia’ kami, yang menunjukkan pentingnya dana kelolaan yang difokuskan pada satu negara […] Di Indonesia, Intudo secara konsisten melangkah memberikan nilai bagi para pendiri sebelum dan sesudah investasi. Kami bangga berperan menjadikan Indonesia sebagai kisah sukses pasar berkembang berikutnya,” imbuh Founding Partner Intudo Ventures Eddy Chan.

Selain itu dalam investasinya juga ada banyak faktor yang diperhatikan, mulai dari distribusi komersial (termasuk kecakapan produk startup dan kekayaan intelektual yang dimiliki), kepatuhan terhadap regulasi, dan spesialisasinya dalam teknologi mendalam.
