I read on this blog, in one paragraph or less called, "Until now Go-Jek not want to open who the investors are." I kepikiran. "Hah, cook anyway?". In the era of startup-do talking about who their investors, or acquired by anyone, some even mentioning the amount, I also realized that Go-Jek it did not seem busy talking about who the investors.As far as I get new information Northstar Group, via NSI Ventures, which informs Go-Jek as their investment portfolios. It is listed on the official website of Northstar, or NSI Ventures.* Northstar is a private equity firm (a type of Saratoga, TRG so times yes if in Indonesia). If NSI Ventures is a venture capital firm. Beda same private equity venture capital what? Googling aja ya. Ha ha.
[UPDATE]
Reportedly Go-Jek has been able to invest again from Sequoia Capital for (at least) of USD 20 million. Approximately 260 billion Rupiah
Gojek also get funds from Redmart Limited and Zimplistic Pte Ltd
Bloomberg reported in March 2016 that the Go-Jek already have investments worth hundreds of millions of dollars. But at the same time, Nadiem also stated that the Go-Jek is not yet a "unicorn" (startup enterprise value of at least 1 billion dollars).If you look at the beginning of Go-Jek first launching in 2010, the coverage is actually pretty good. They had covered by The Labana Post The Jakarta Post. It mentioned the name Arthur Benjamin as an angel investor Go-Jek. But strangely, one high-ranking Go-Jek that now does not even know the name. My estimate anyway, Arthur is no longer an investor in Go-Jek. How come? Perhaps the following could be the explanation.The founder of Go-JekGo-Jek, founded by Nadiem Makarim, Cu and Michaelangelo Brian Moran. Prior to founding Go-Jek, Nadiem worked at McKinsey, Brian Cu worked at BCG, while Michaelangelo Interactive Web Designer to work as a freelancer.Well this is interesting. Go-Jek it from a variety of coverage, called that they erected around June 2010. Until 2011, the news still came out in the media. Including articles in The Jakarta Post earlier. However, since late 2011, arguably Go-Jek somewhat faded from the news.The reason? I do not know exactly. But it could be because after Go-Jek founded in 2010, Nadiem and Brian went to work in Rocket Internet to build Zalora.com. Nadiem join Zalora in November 2011, and Brian joined in January 2012. They were recruited by Rocket Internet to build Zalora Indonesia (fashion e-commerce).* It is no secret that Rocket Internet is like to take a team from a former employee of a management consulting firm. Nadiem ex-McKinsey, and Brian ex-BCG. Two big-name consulting firm.I do not know for sure when Nadiem join Rocket Internet, Go-Jek status how. Is it a vacuum or even rebuilt. If real rebuilt do not be surprised if it ends Arthur Benjamin is no longer listed as a shareholder.Then after getting out of Zalora, how it goes? Well this is interesting also. Once out of Zalora, Nadiem also not chosen to focus its Gojek. In April 2013 Harvard MBA graduate is actually join Kartuku, served as CIO. A year in Kartuku, then Nadiem return the focus to Gojek.Brian Cu? Once out of Zalora, graduated from the National University of Singapore chose a career in GrabTaxi since June 2013. Yes, that's GrabTaxi .., which also launched GrabBike, the main competitor Go-Jek.It's interesting. If you look at the timeline of their career records in Linkedin, of course, after Brian Cu launched Grab Bike, it was not possible anymore da still has shares in Go-Jek.
[Note: Anthony Tan founder GrabTaxi Nadiem friend when it is equally to Harvard]
[UPDATE: Nadiem Nakarim are Indonesian citizens, parents came from Pekalongan, Central Java. Nadiem father is a famous lawyer, Nono Anwar Makarim -lulusan Harvard as well.]The New Go-JekIn 2015, Go-Jek began bustling again. If the first message is to be via telephone, now it can be via the application, ala-ala Uber. Although the application I think the quality is far from Uber.Why is the application quality is still far away? Several times I use, applications like the error itself. Pesen Gojek, wait a bit longer, continues to display a notification driver was able, was on his way. But the empty driver information. We do not have the name and telephone number. His position? At sea. We've also managed smoothly anyway.Then this is the most severe, often (can be a story) application can be tricked by the Gojek its driver, as well as by users of its services. Go-Jek his driver could be 800rb day with ngakalin application. This brother-brother of her own Go-Jek you know the story. Passengers? Well .., betcha. Let me be the PR person Go-Jek technology was this.Problem investors, as mentioned earlier, the strategy Nadiem somewhat different than most other startup. In some media, Nadiem states that are reluctant to disclose information Gojek investor. Not about par, but a matter of who the investors. Gojek his CFO was when I asked could not give information, confidential he said.Gojek seems incredible growth this year. Download application has more than 500k. The number of partners ojeknya brother was already 10k more, spread across four cities.My basic question is just one, this would Gojek ngincer exit, or indeed want to run long term huh?
PS: Keep on, Michaelangelo Moran how? Well, said user information in Wikipedia (yes I quote) "Michaelangelo Moran is a son of a bitch and janitors currently based in San Francisco". I'm sure this must jokes anyway. Either by himself (which indeed creative workers), or a friend's apartment
