Bukalapak’s seed round pitch deck

Q&A

1. When was the deck created?
March 2011.

2. How much did you raise?
Not much, to be honest. We only managed to raise capital five to six months after this deck was created.

3. What happened after the fundraise?
The first thing we did was to jump full time into Bukalapak. Back then, Bukalapak was just a small project under my digital agency Suitmedia. Fun fact: Bukalapak first started out as an online bike-focused marketplace before expanding to other verticals.

4. Lessons learned?
Don’t think too much about investment or valuation; focus on the product. We launched Bukalapak in January 2010, and I strongly believe we have a pretty amazing growth so far. I’ve never seen an early-stage startup growing like that nowadays and believe it’s because we’ve been very focused on the product and serving our users well.
