With Social Discounts, Stilomo Hopes to Freshen Up the Indonesian Daily Deals Market

One of the first Jakarta Founder Institute graduates, Stilomo.com, which attracted angel investment a few months ago, has finally launched on Android a few days ago. The startup’s daily deals concept is similar to Startup Asia Singapore’s GSpot – get discounts by sharing deals via social networking sites.

Stilomo has worked together with several food and beverage chains in Jakarta such as Old Town White Coffee, OMO! Chicken, and BLD. The founding team, which is comprised of Stanley Octavian, Rebecca Agiestha, and Nicholas Yudha, are hoping to finish an iOS version of their service by early 2013. They are busy finalizing the mobile website right now too.

The daily deals business model has been used by so many startups in recent years that cloning it is no longer good enough. Now we are looking at a surge of startups trying to put some twists on their deal offerings, such as seen with Indonesia’s Uluyu, India’s FreeCharge, and China’s Handsup. Will Stilomo be able to outshine the rest of its competitors with its social approach? Let’s wait and see.

You can download and try the brand-new Stilomo app for Android here.
