East Ventures
Pioneer colonizer of Indonesian digital economy—first investor in Tokopedia and Traveloka, now Preqin's most consistent global performer.
East Ventures colonized Indonesia's digital economy before competitors recognized the opportunity. First investor in Tokopedia (2010) and Traveloka (2012)—both became unicorns—they accumulated founder network advantages that late entrants cannot replicate. Being Preqin's 'most consistent top-performing VC fund globally' from a Jakarta base proves that pioneer positioning in large, underpenetrated markets beats fighting for deals in crowded ecosystems. Seven unicorns and eighteen IPOs from 480 investments demonstrate r-selection at scale: broad portfolio, aggressive deployment, letting natural selection identify winners.
