At the recent A Day with Grab Ventures Velocity session held at the Tech in Asia Conference, Erika Dianasari Go, our Value Creation Partner, joined a panel titled "Catalyzing Indonesian Startups for Sustainable Success" to encourage startups to thrive amid current climate. As economic conditions tighten and global uncertainties rise, a clear path to profitability has become essential for today’s growth-focused founders. The emphasis is no longer on product development alone but extends to a nuanced understanding of market demands, prudent capital allocation, and agile talent management. With fundraising cycles lengthening and a more selective investment environment, founders must navigate these changes with both resilience and strategic insight. Startups demonstrating disciplined growth strategies, financial acumen, and adaptable teams are those best positioned for sustained success. At Alpha JWC, we are committed to empowering founders who drive sustainable growth, prioritize agility, and understand the evolving demands of today’s market. One way we support this mission is through our involvement in the Grab Ventures Velocity program.

At #VixulCon2024, we talked to seasoned investor ☀️Raza Shaikh (Managing Partner, Beacon Venture Partners; Managing Director, Launchpad Venture Group) about the differences between the support #tech product and tech services experience and how Vixul helps fill that gap. Having built tech services #startups from the ground up, Raza noted the lack of a mature ecosystem to nurture services and the absence of #mentorship many tech services founders grapple with as they scale their companies. #Austin #Texas #candid #conference #event #throwback

The Indian start-up ecosystem is witnessing a resurgence in funding, with investments reaching nearly $4.1 billion in H1 of 2024, with significantly larger deal sizes for growth and IPO-bound start-ups. Vinod Murali, Co-founder and Managing Partner at Alteria, said “The path towards listing is now better understood, and the benchmarks are also well captured. Founders are preparing for liquidity events two to four years in advance to ensure their internal systems, data architecture, and compliance are in place, apart from strong operating performance. This proactive approach is key to their success, and we are proud to support them every step of the way.” At Alteria Capital, we've been proud to back IPO-bound companies like Zepto, Rebel Foods and Ather Energy, alongside 190+ other exceptional founding teams.
