The more the merrier! Another three summer analysts are boarding on ANGIN team. These cool summer analysts team are from three different globe across the world. Coming from Warwick Business School in United Kingdom, Monash University in Australia, and Wesleyan University in United States. These additional teams help us with a lot of new researches, knowledge and intriguing stories to the office. Not only us but we also want you to know them better:
1. Why do you want to work for ANGIN?
Wisly: It’s very dynamic; there’s always a lot of new learning and networking opportunities. As someone who did not have any experience in the startup environment, I wanted to experience what it was like. I’ve learned that the fast-paced atmosphere really equips you with efficiency, resourcefulness and the ability to think on your feet.
Hilmi: I am driven to explore the intriguing and noble world of impact investing within the Indonesian start-up ecosystem. I am motivated to join ANGIN Indonesia’s team to learn from the only firm of its kind in Indonesia and contributing to the firm’s endeavour in nurturing Indonesia’s future entrepreneurs to ultimately create impact for the greater good of the country and its people.
Raka: I have always been interested in the rapidly growing and fast-paced environment of the start-up ecosystem in Indonesia. ANGIN provides an opportunity for me to help contribute to stimulating the startup ecosystem growth. Nonetheless, I have always been curious regarding which startup criteria appeals most to an investor.
2. What are your aspirations and goals?
Wisly: There is a lot of potential in the startup ecosystem in Indonesia, especially through the growing number of technological platforms. As someone who is interested in tech, I’d like to develop technology that can help SMEs and people who don’t have as much access to startup funding.
Hilmi: My personal aspiration is to work between the intersection of Capital, Governance, and Foreign Affairs. I would ideally like to work from the private sector being very much in touch with foreign stakeholders to serve the aspirations of the Indonesian people and work to build a better Indonesia.
Raka: In the long term, I would highly consider becoming an angel investor; further reducing Indonesia’s inequality and contribute to poverty alleviation.
3. What are you most excited to work on this summer?
Wisly: Working on ANGIN’s technology platform, Connector.id. I’d also like to contribute to the research to learn more about the startup ecosystem, as well as the investment/portfolio management side to improve my business and financial knowledge.
Hilmi: Currently I am excited to be working on a consulting engagement with The UNDP (United Nations Development Programme) on the creation of a Sharia Compliant Impact Investment Fund (SCIIF) to help finance the global effort in sustainable development.
Raka: I’m mainly excited about the investment aspect of ANGIN and what distinguishes one startup from another, from an investor’s perspective (e.g. traction, monetization, etc.).
4. What’s your favorite Indonesian food?
Wisly: Nasi goreng kambing, Ronde, Es Podeng, Soto Bandung, Es Cendol and Bakso. Just to name a few.
Hilmi: My favorite Indonesian food would probably the Rendang. Not only is rendang Indonesia’s most famous dish and is globally acclaimed, rendang perhaps gives an insight into the ingenuity of Indonesians. The rendang was made as an initial effort to preserve meat due to a lack of refrigeration, and this process gave way to the country’s most iconic dish.
Raka: Undoubtedly, opor ayam.
