AC Ventures, an Indonesia-focussed venture capital firm, said it completed the first close of a planned $80 million technology investment fund.
The Jakarta-based company raised $56 million at the first close, according to its partners. The fund will invest in about 30 early-stage startups in areas including e-commerce and financial technology in the next three years.
AC Ventures was established in 2019 after two homegrown Indonesian VC firms — Agaeti Ventures and Convergence Ventures — merged to create scale. Its three founding partners are Pandu Sjahrir and Michael Soerijadji, previously general partners of Agaeti Ventures, and Adrian Li, the former founder
of Convergence Ventures. Together, they have backed more than 100 tech ventures.
