| Oct 2021 | Series B | DST Global (lead); ICONIQ Capital; IVP; SBVA; Alpha JWC Ventures; Ribbit Capital; Horizons Ventures; Cakra Ventures; Insignia Ventures Partners | $154M | $1B | Ajaib is an Indonesian fintech startup founded in 2019 that operates a mobile-first investment platform offering accessible stock trading, mutual funds, and other financial products targeted at millennials and first-time investors, becoming Indonesia's first fully online stock brokerage with no physical branches. Ajaib positions itself to disrupt traditional finance by simplifying investing with low fees and user-friendly interfaces, owning 1 million out of 2.6 million stocks in Indonesia. The company raised approximately $153-154 million in its Series B funding round around April/October 2021, led by DST Global, achieving unicorn status with a post-money valuation of at least $1 billion. Other investors included Horizons Ventures, Ribbit Capital, ICONIQ Growth, IVP, Insignia Ventures Partners, Alpha JWC Ventures, and SoftBank Ventures Asia (SBVA). This round marked DST Global's first investment in Southeast Asia and propelled Ajaib to become Indonesia's fastest unicorn in just two and a half years since launch. The funds were allocated to expand product development, engineering capabilities, and hiring talent to launch new products aimed at increasing stock investor penetration in Indonesia, where only about 1% of the population invests in stocks. By 2021, Ajaib had grown to over 1 million user accounts, processed more than 32-36 million transactions year-to-date, making it the third- or fourth-largest stock brokerage by trade volume, and served over 3 million customers. Earlier in 2021, it had closed additional rounds including $25 million Series A in January and $65 million in March, totaling $243 million raised that year. |

Founded in 2019 by Anderson Sumarli and Yada Piyajomkwan, the startup addresses low equity penetration in Indonesia where less than 1% of the population owned stocks at its founding, with particular focus on millennials and first-time investors. The platform requires no minimum deposit to open a brokerage account and leverages Indonesia's high smartphone penetration. Ajaib closed its Series A in two tranches: a $25 million first close in January 2021 led by Horizons Ventures and Alpha JWC, followed by a $65 million extension in March 2021 led by Ribbit Capital, bringing the total Series A to $90 million. The March 2021 extension included participation from SoftBank Ventures Asia, Bangkok Bank, Y Combinator Continuity, ICONIQ Capital, Alpha JWC, Horizons Ventures, Insignia Ventures, and angel investors including David Velez and SG Lee (founders of Nubank and Toss). The funding was allocated to expand product development and engineering capabilities. By the time of its Series B in October 2021, Ajaib had grown to manage 1 million out of Indonesia's 2.6 million stock accounts and processed 32 million transactions that year, achieving unicorn status with a $1 billion+ valuation after raising $153 million led by DST Global. |
