印尼投资平台Ajaib获得由Horizons Venture和Alpha JWC领投的2500万美元A轮融资

在线投资平台Ajaib Group表示，目前按交易数量排名，它是印度尼西亚第五大证券经纪公司。AjaibGroup宣布已完成由Horizo​​ns Ventures领投的2500万美元A轮融资，Horizo​​ns Ventures是由李嘉诚创立的风险投资公司，和Alpha JWC。返回的投资者软银亚洲创投，Insignia Ventures和Y Combinator也参加了这一轮融资，分两次进行。 Ajaib集团由首席执行官Anderson Sumarli和首席运营官Yada Piyajomkwan于2019年创立，专注于千禧一代和首次投资人，目前每月拥有100万用户。它现在已经筹集了总计2700万美元的资金，其中包括2019年的200万美元种子轮融资。 股票投资在印度尼西亚的渗透率很低，该国只有约160万资本市场投资者，占不到其人口的1％（相比之下，盖洛普（Gallup）的数据显示，约有55％的美国人拥有股票）。 极低的渗透率，再加上大流行期间散户投资者对资本市场的兴趣不断增加，激发了风险投资商对在线投资平台的兴趣，尤其是针对千禧一代的平台。上周，印尼投资应用程序Bibit宣布以红杉资本印度公司（Sequoia Capital India）为首的3000万美元增长轮融资，而另一个在线投资平台Bareksa证实，去年付款应用程序OVO进行了B轮融资。

原文：Ajaib Group, an online investment platform that says it now runs the fifth-largest stock brokerage in Indonesia by number of trades, announced it has raised a $25 million Series A led by Horizons Ventures, the venture capital firm founded by Li Ka-Shing, and Alpha JWC. Returning investors SoftBank Ventures Asia, Insignia Ventures and Y Combinator also participated in the round, which was made in two closes.

Founded in 2019 by chief executive officer Anderson Sumarli and chief operating officer Yada Piyajomkwan, Ajaib Group focuses on millennials and first-time investors, and currently claims one million monthly users. It has now raised a total of $27 million, including a $2 million seed round in 2019.

Stock investment has a very low penetration rate in Indonesia, with only about 1.6 million capital market investors in the country, or less than 1% of its population (in comparison, about 55% of Americans own stocks, according to Gallup data).

The very low penetration rate, coupled with growing interest in the capital market among retail investors during the pandemic, has spurred VC interest in online investment platforms, especially ones that focus on millennials. Last week, Indonesian investment app Bibit announced a $30 million growth round led by Sequoia Capital India, while another online investment platform, Bareksa, confirmed an undisclosed Series B from payment app OVO last year.
