Founders Drinks Jakarta off to a great start

The inaugural Founders Drinks in Jakarta was held on Wednesday, 2 February, which coincided with Chinese New Year’s Eve, at Blöeming Restaurant and Bar at fX Lifestyle X’Nter in South Jakarta.

Capped at 30 invitations, interest in the event nearly doubled the available spots. Those who had new year engagements unfortunately had to cancel but the evening went very smoothly and full of enthusiastic startup founders from Jakarta, Bandung, Surabaya, and even a French social entrepreneur based in Africa who happened to be in town.

While it did not adopt the new format for the event, which was introduced in the Singapore event on 26 January, it was discussed and explained for the benefit of the founders and to prepare them for what Founders Drinks Jakarta will become.
