Founded by Ryan Gondokusumo in 2011, Sribu connects companies who are looking for branding and marketing solutions to freelancers that can answer these needs. It has helped more than 15,000 small businesses and corporations, including Telkomsel, Pertamina, and Baidu.

It counts East Ventures, Asteria, and CrowdWorks as its investors.
