Telkomsel Ventures and AppWorks have revealed the seven startups selected for the ninth batch of their Tinc accelerator program. The startups, operating in sectors such as healthcare, finance, environment, marketing, and smart home technology, will engage in a six-month program aimed at integrating them into Telkomsel’s ecosystem.
Among the selected startups are PrimaKu, a pediatric health platform that AppWorks invested in last year, and SkorLife, a credit-scoring firm that raised US$4 million in seed funding in May 2023. These companies, along with five others, will collaborate with Telkomsel’s business units to enhance their growth and contribute to Indonesia’s digital economy.
“Leveraging AppWorks’ expertise and extensive network throughout Greater Southeast Asia, together with Telkomsel, we will accelerate their growth and help Telkomsel to create a greater impact on Indonesia’s booming digital economy”, stated Jamie Lin, chairman and partner at AppWorks.
The Tinc accelerator program, launched by Telkomsel in 2018, has supported over 40 startups to date, including notable companies like aquaculture unicorn eFishery and healthtech firm Zi.Care. The current program will conclude in October with demo sessions in Jakarta, followed by a session in Taiwan two months later. During these events, the startups will have the opportunity to pitch their ideas to potential investors and partners.
This initiative underscores Telkomsel's commitment to fostering innovation and supporting the digital transformation of Indonesia's economy by nurturing promising startups in various critical sectors.
