According to the firm, East Ventures was named the most consistent top performing VC fund around the world, as well as the most active investor in Southeast Asia and Indonesia by Preqin. 

It is also the first investor for Indonesia’s unicorn companies Tokopedia and Traveloka, and some companies in its portfolio included Shopback, Kudo and Tech in Asia. The VC firm seems to be fairly active in the scene, investing close to 10 companies within the past month.

Question is - Why is East Ventures pumping in money into startups amid the current economic climate? What opportunities does it see and what are some recent investments by the VC firm? 

On Market View, Prime Time’s finance presenter Chua Tian Tian sat down with Willson Cuaca, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at East Ventures to address these burning questions.
