Indonesia Entrepreneurs Ecosystem Mapping 2021: Report by ANGIN and Blue Impacts

This new report is brought to you by ANGIN and Blue Impacts, Impact X

Introduction

As the largest economy in Southeast Asia, Indonesia has charted impressive economic growth and is home to a massive population that is excited to embrace emerging technologies. With the advent of some of Indonesia’s largest tech unicorns going public, the island country is gathering significant importance and influence as a hub for startups and talents.

Over the past decade, Indonesia has seen more deals and impact capital deployed by the Development Finance Institutions (DFI) than any other country in the region. With this encouraging trend in mind, a rising number of different players in the startup ecosystem are contributing to nurturing the impact startups – startups with a social and environmental focus while generating promising financial returns.

Moving forward from the pandemic, there is an urgent need to recover our economy and learn from the exposed social and environmental vulnerabilities. The Indonesian Government, an increasing number of companies, youth-led climate actions, and young entrepreneurs, are committed to addressing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, to include environmental and social problems on their agenda and work towards a more resilient economy. These entities identify innovative ideas and technologies from startups and entrepreneurs to challenge the business-as-usual trajectory.

This is the emerging trend of Impact Technology, where business ideas are backed by science, technology and innovation to benefit people and the environment. Given the complexity to measure and track social and environmental impacts, we hope to introduce a new perspective and mechanism to ignite, re-align and join forces with existing efforts in the startup ecosystem to build the community that tailors to nurturing these young and mission-led innovators and entrepreneurs so that their impacts can scale and eventually lead our nations towards a sustainable era.

Report Overview

This report zooms in on some of the key players supporting the startup ecosystem in Indonesia that also contribute in paving the way for impact technology startups to grow. Highlighting the work from investors to service providers, these key players in the ecosystem are building the foundation for startups to make a positive impact through tech-enabled solutions.

This report use the term “impact” in a broader scope. Not only social enterprises deliver “impact” (i.e. achieve positive social and environmental impact through the business). “Impact” can be a vague concept and while social enterprises intentionally state that they are pursuing “impact” and have the duty to measure it. Some of these players that may be working in Impact Areas also contribute to achieving “impact” without stating it openly or with a capacity to measure it.

About Impact X, Blue Impacts

Blue Impacts seeks to discover, support and scale impact technologies solving environmental and development related challenges. Focus areas include food systems, energy and carbon, inclusive finance, urban resilience, improved health and circular economy. Blue Impacts has offices in Singapore, Australia, and China.

A startup innovation challenge, called SHIFT!, is a discovery platform established by Blue Impacts with partners in 8 cities across the Asia Pacific. Designed to discover impact technologies at their earliest stage, Shift! takes a deeper approach to developing startup ecosystems at the local level.

The company brings innovators together with investors, buyers, and experts at the Impact X Summit, to match and help scale. In 2021 and 2022, Impact X Summits will take place in Australia, China, and the Netherlands.

Any reproduction in full or in part must mention the title of the report and credit the above-mentioned publisher as the copyright owner. 

This report aims to highlight and identify the possibility of aligning existing efforts in Indonesia’s startup ecosystem to nurture, invest, and scale startups and entrepreneurs with a focus on climate and sustainable development goals. This report is also the follow up of ANGIN’s report, the 2019 edition of ecosystem mapping report. So here is the 2021 edition of the key players who are highly contributing to the development of entrepreneurship and paving the way for impact technology to grow in Indonesia. 

These are the organizations you should definitely meet if you are exploring the Indonesian impact technology startups market. We have updated our 2019 list to reflect the changes in the ecosystem as new players are coming, some organizations are not active anymore, less active or changed their focus.

[RECAP] Impact Accelerator-Batch 3 Awarding Ceremony

Kinara Indonesia’s Indonesia Impact Accelerator organised an  awarding ceremony for its Batch 3 participants  last Thursday (5/12). 

At the reception, 12 women-led in Innovative and Ethical Fashion businesses pitched their business to a crowd of investors, government and other relevant stakeholders. At the end of the pitching session, four of them were announced to be the top winners and received USD 25,000 investment from Patamar Capital supported by Investing in Women. The four were uniquely selected via peer assessment model. (Congratulations Astungkara, Kostoom, HeyStatic and Minikiniz!). The event was closed with a warm networking and dinner reception.

This batch is rather interesting for ANGIN team as it focuses on sector that is rarely focused on in other similar programs. We thank the Indonesia Impact Accelerator team for inviting us to participate in the speed dating and awarding ceremony event. Because of this opportunity, we found  many interesting ethical fashion businesses operating across the archipelago, which we have never heard before!

 

About Indonesia  Impact Accelerator Program

Indonesia Impact Accelerator Program is initiated by Kinara Indonesia, Patamar Capital, and Investing in Women in 2016. This is a 4-months intensive capacity building support targeted for women-led businesses in Indonesia. Beyond acceleration, the program also provides USD 25,000 investment for winners, who are interestingly selected via peer selection process.

[INVITATION ONLY] Investor Forum: Impact Accelerator Program

ANGIN is proud to be invited to Kinara and Patamar Capital’s Investor Forum of their Impact Accelerator Program for Women-Led Businesses.

In this current batch they are running the program for Woman Co-founded Innovative & Ethical Fashion Business, particularly those who have women as either the founder or the senior management level.

About Impact Accelerator Program

Impact Accelerator Program is a program adaptation of the Village Capital incubation’s ‘Peer Selection Investment‘ model. The program comprises of 3 workshops and 2 webinars.  They use VIRAL metrics as a guideline to do self-assessment and peer learning. Participants will try to do “peer-ranking” on VilCap platform after each workshop, and from the final peer ranking, the 4-top-ranked business will receive each USD 25K.

[RECAP] Nexus Indonesia Salon

NEXUS Indonesia organized its first Salon in Jakarta with theme “Sustainability Check Up & Incubating Ideas on the Workers Safety”. At this event, ANGIN team had the opportunity to mingle with more than 20 exceptional young individuals, who have interest to tackle certain social and/or environmental causes. For the whole night, we were struck by their story and their passion in doing their impactful works; that ranges from educating women migrants, creating alternative solution to plastics, to improving the live of farmers and fishermen.

While these individuals have different backgrounds (from family foundation to social enterprises and business professionals) and aim to achieve a diverse set of impact missions (from women empowerment, environmental protection, to poverty alleviation), their common passion and spirit resulted in an engaging dialogue and fruitful idea exchange.

This Salon was also aimed to support Fahreza & Janhavi from http://www.tft-earth.org/. Through their work, they found that the workers at the end of the supply chain are exposed to dangers to the wild animals, accidents like cuts being hit by heavy fruits. As there is a high no of accident rate, the workers refused to wear the safety equipment. Through this Salon, Fahreza and Janhavi facilitated a discussion on how to address the issue. In the short term, they also plan to organize a hackathon to collect more insightful solution to this challenges. Currently, they are welcoming ideas and support from everyone (Any thought? Feel free to drop comment below!)

Seeing young individuals thriving to make a better Indonesia revived our spirit to create better impact for the country. This event is a refreshing experience. We thank NEXUS Indonesia leader and our very own angel investor, Michella Irawan, for hosting this amazing event and inviting us.
