Where’s Indonesia’s next wave of tech and business innovators?

This series looks at some of the young companies in the archipelago that have recently caught our eye.

HelloBeauty

HelloBeauty is a marketplace for beauty professionals like makeup artists and hair stylists. It was co-founded by Dennish Tjandra and Pradana Dyaksa. Since launching in July, HelloBeauty says it’s signed up 300 service providers across Jakarta, Bali, Surabaya, and Bandung and received 237 bookings so far.

Klik’n’Clean

Klik’n’Clean is an app for booking room cleaning services. Its co-founder and CEO is Steven Ghoos, the former managing director of Lamudi in Indonesia.

Klik’n’Clean’s big advantage is that its partner is the well-established enterprise-scale cleaning service Carefast – a company that’s used to clean malls and office buildings. Klik’n’Clean is an on-demand service for individuals and smaller offices, but it shares resources with Carefast when it comes to staff and equipment.

Cicil

If you’re a university student in need of a new laptop but can’t afford it right away, Cicil might be the right solution. It lets you purchase items from a catalog and offers various payment schemes so that you can pay off the debt over the course of a few months.

The startup co-founded by Edward Widjonarko and Leslie Lim raised seed funding from East Ventures earlier this month.
