  • AgriAku

    Led · Convertible Note · Jun 2026

    Founded in 2021 by Irvan Kolonas and Danny Handoko, AgriAku began as a B2B marketplace linking farmers, small and medium agri-retailers, and suppliers to farming products such as seeds, fertilisers, and pesticides. In recent months the company has narrowed its strategy away from the broader marketplace model toward concentrating on distribution and sale of agricultural inputs, particularly fertiliser products, to capture more predictable economics and demand visibility. AgriAku has undertaken organisational restructuring to support this shift, including reducing headcount by about 20–30% and changes impacting the sales team. Financially, the company has previously raised $35 million in a 2022 Series A and a $5 million extension that year, with total equity fundraising of $46 million reported. The latest convertible note financing of roughly $4–6 million is intended to extend runway as the company executes the business realignment. The company’s shareholder base includes Argor, Unruly Rebels, Alpha JWC Ventures, Irga Spring Corporation, Altrui Investment Management, and MDI Ventures’ funds, among others.

  • Paper.id

    Participated · Series B · Dec 2022

    Paper.id provides a SaaS platform for invoicing, accounting and inventory management that enables entrepreneurs to create and send invoices, manage order-to-pay processes, and generate reports with digital payments integrations.

It targets Indonesian small and midsize enterprises that remain heavily dependent on manual methods. Founded in 2016 and based in Jakarta, Paper.id aims to digitize millions of Indonesian SMEs. In December 2022 the company raised $12 million in a Series B to grow its product and expand reach. Investors in the round included Go-Ventures, Skystar Capital, Living Lab Ventures (Sinar Mas Land), BM Capital, and Redbadge Pacific.

  • Propseller

    Participated · Series A · Aug 2022

    Propseller offers an end-to-end real estate transaction platform that tracks leads and reports the expected conversion likelihood at each step, provides dashboards for sellers, and supports video and VR viewings. The company calls its licensed agents "consultants" and automates processes so consultants can focus on client relationships, enabling them to close about 55 transactions per year on average. By using technology to improve efficiency, Propseller charges a 1% commission rate versus the typical 2% charged by traditional agencies. Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Singapore, the startup currently has about 50 employees, including 20 salaried consultants. Propseller plans to use its recent Series A to scale its business model, expand its offerings and enter overseas markets, and intends to hire roughly 200 more staff across marketing, operations, product, engineering, sales and real estate teams. The platform emphasizes data capture across the entire sales process to identify optimizations and reduce the hassle of buying and selling property. Propseller pairs a proprietary technology platform with in-house agents to accelerate property transactions and handle tasks like valuations, virtual viewings and online dashboards. Its model reduces standard commission fees to 1% from 2% by increasing transaction velocity. The company says it handles about SGD 75 million in properties annually. During the pandemic Propseller’s revenue dropped roughly 80% quarter‑over‑quarter in Q2 but has been rebounding. Propseller positions itself to disrupt traditional agents rather than classifieds sites, differentiating from listing platforms like PropertyGuru and 99.co and from FSBO-focused competitors like Ohmyhome. The platform’s existing digital tools allowed agents to continue working through Singapore’s circuit breakers without needing accelerated digital adoption. Propseller is a Singaporean platform that helps prospective property sellers and landlords find and compare the best property agents by surfacing independent reviews and agents' track records. The service presents a list of the top 3–10 estate agents within one minute based on user criteria and agent performance. On the agent side, 500 handpicked agents from agencies such as PropNex, ERA and Sotheby’s have joined and allow clients to rate their services. In its first 12 months the startup put up for sale and rent a combined property value of S$500 million. The company closed a S$1 million seed round to accelerate growth and further develop its technology focused on transparency. Propseller positions itself as complementary to property-listing portals by helping owners find the agents who will market their listings.

  • BintanGO

    Participated · Seed · Apr 2022

    BintanGo offers tools and services for digital content creators, including productivity and monetization features and financial assistance to creators. The company says it has onboarded more than 75,000 creators since launching in September 2021. Over the past 12 months those creators received more than US $2.3 million in platform payments. With its latest funding, BintanGo intends to expand its services to live commerce platforms such as TikTok, Instagram, Shopee, and YouTube. The company highlights a local live-commerce ecosystem, noting Central Jakarta hosts 15 live commerce studios. Its product roadmap centers on enabling creators and studios to conduct live commerce and capture monetization opportunities on major social and e-commerce platforms. BintanGO offers creators a suite of monetization tools including CreatorSpace for managing brand collaborations, a marketplace for verified creators, and a video shout-out app similar to Cameo. The platform also provides invoicing, business-management tools and invoice-financing/early-payment solutions to address long payment cycles. CEO Jason Lee co-founded the company with Oktorika Mandasari and says BintanGO aims to help creators consolidate income streams and access financing normally unavailable to informal workers. The company monetizes via platform fees ranging from 1% to 5% depending on the service. BintanGO reported onboarding about 10,000 creators in the past month, with creators earning almost $150,000 over the previous three months. Its stated goal is to solve invoicing, payment timing and financing challenges for Indonesian creators.
