Indonesian investment platform ANGIN has announced its recent investments in two Indonesian startups, Collabit and Arconesia, which are focused on creating positive, lasting change with innovative business ideas.
ANGIN said in a statement on Thursday that these investments were made possible thanks to ongoing support from KEM (Koalisi Ekonomi Membumi), which has provided funding for ANGIN to offer soft loans to promising businesses that focus on making a positive impact.
These loans are designed to be easy for founders to access: they are under $100,000, don’t require collateral, and come with help to measure the impact of the business and offer technical support.
The company focuses on sharing resources and helping social businesses work together to strengthen local communities across Indonesia.
Arconesia is an Indonesian agritech social enterprise based in Bengkulu, Sumatra.
The company helps small farmers by encouraging climate-friendly farming methods, like growing different crops and using agroforestry (combining trees with crops).
It provides a complete platform that gives farmers access to loans without collateral, help with farming, and guaranteed markets to sell their crops like watermelon, melon, and bananas after harvest.
ANGIN said this achievement returns to the company’s core mission – supporting innovators and change-makers who traditional investors often ignore.
The company said it purposely takes on risks others avoid, helping startups build trust and credibility for their business.
It added that by investing in smaller tickets that can be catalytic, ANGIN plays a unique role in unlocking future capital and growth for early-stage ventures.
ANGIN pointed out that its simple, local-focused approach allows the company to efficiently provide funding and support, even in often overlooked areas, making a significant impact while staying sustainable.
“As we build momentum, interest is growing from European family offices and philanthropies who recognize the value of this unique scheme,
“We are seeking new companies with bold ideas and measurable impact to join our next cohort,” said David Soukhasing, ANGIN’s Managing Director.
