The fund initially raised US$10 million last June

Jakarta-based venture capital firm Intudo Ventures has closed its debut fund at US$20 million, according to a Bloomberg report. The VC had previously raised US$10 million in June last year.

Intudo Ventures targets 12 to 16 early stage companies in the field of consumer, finance, healthcare, education, and media led by local founders and returnee talents from overseas market.

Citing the fragmented nature of the region (due to culture, demographics, and language) and heightened interest in Indonesia from US investors, the VC will remain a domestic player, said Intudo’s founding partner Patrick Yip.
