We curate startups using our SID points, which is an Invest ability scoring derived by the methods used by Venture Capitals. These points are calculated using the logistic regression model which ensures a more accurate and objective scoring based on real market data.

Yes! Our SID Points which we use for the curation process, scores a mix of metrics such as; Founder’s Background, Traction, Market Size, Business Model and Existing Funding. This means that if the startup does not have traction yet, but scores highly in other metrics, there is still a possibility to succeed and pass our curation process.

Yes, our event is open to startups in every industry. However, several Venture Capitals in our network do have a specific industry they’re interested in. This interest will be disclosed once startups pass our curation process, to ensure that startups meet the right Investors.

You are free to pitch in the language you are most comfortable in. However, several Venture Capitals from outside of Indonesia may only understand English. This information will be provided for you once startups pass our curation process, to ensure that startups meet the right Investors.

After the session, Investors will be informing the StartupIndonesia team as to which startup they want to discuss further. Startups which are chosen to talk further with Investors will receive an email from the StartupIndonesia team to connect further with the Venture Capital

The StartupIndonesia team will not disclose the Venture Capital’s contact to Startups if Investors are not interested in a further discussion. However, if Investors share their contact willingly during the session, startups can contact them directly.

StartupIndonesia hosts our Speed Pitching event every quarter, this means there will be 4 Speed Pitching events in a year. We will have a different line up of Venture Capitals at every event.
