[RESEARCH INVITATION] The Downs of an Indonesian Tech Startup Journey

Calling all startup founders in Indonesia!

We invite you to join in our new research project on “The Downs of an Indonesian Tech Startup Journey”. We are conducting a quantitative and qualitative research to understand more about the problem faced by most of tech startup founders in Indonesia, and share it back to the ecosystem so everyone can learn and not make the same mistakes.

First of its kind in Indonesia, the purpose of this research project is to use precedent cases of failure and mistakes to guide entrepreneurs and support organizations (e.g. accelerators, VC, universities) in their entrepreneurial journey. We will maintain absolute confidentiality of the primary data collected and won’t disclose participant’s names. We have already received more than 100 contacts from a previous round of participation.

So if you:

– Are a tech startup founder operating in Indonesia.

– Have already received external investment.

– Are willing to share your stories about the challenges that you faced in building your startup and that pushed you to pivot radically or to close down shop.

Or you may know peer tech startup founders that could be a good fit for this research. Please share your contact details (or other founders that you may refer) via this link:

I WOULD LIKE TO PARTICIPATE

The deadline for the registration of this research is November 16, 2018.

Posted on | by David Soukhasing | Leave a Comment on [RECAP] Panel Discussion : “Women and Diversity in Tech”

Monday, Sept 17th, 2018 – David Soukhasing, our Managing Director of Angel Investor Network Indonesia (ANGIN) was honoured to moderate the panel discussion with France’s Minister for Digital, Mounir Mahjoubi with the topic of  “Women and Diversity in Tech”. Along with other female panellists, Avanti Fontana, a researcher and facilitator in the FEB UI’s Strategy and Innovation Management Program and Anantya Von Bronckhorts, Deputy Director of Girls in Tech Indonesia discussed the role of women and diversity in the technology industry. What made it more interesting that most of the attendees were also women.

Opened by Mounir Mahjoubi who was quite impressed by the number of women in Indonesia’s digital industry. In comparing the number of the engineer in France ecosystem only 10% of women in France tech ecosystem, meanwhile in Indonesia 30% but we need to keep this number increased. Avanti Fontana mentioned the study about women in science & women in ventures that the number of female in this areas are still lower than the number of males. According the research, her conclusion that it seems that there is a gender neutral  perspective when talking about innovation. And when we talk about the innovation ecosystem, it must be gender sensitive. Anantya from Girls in Tech Indonesia added that there are a few things on top of the list, one of them is technology is here to stay and we need to realize that nowadays technology does increasingly impact us even in our daily life. So as women, we might have a choice to leverage this technology development.

Mounir Mahjoubi added that what’s lacked right now is a great example of women entrepreneur in the big tech industry. With adding more women in the tech industry will attract even more women to this industry.

This event was organized by Institut Français Indonesia.
