ErudiFi, a startup offering tech-enabled education financing solutions in Southeast Asia, has secured a debt facility of US$15 million from Singapore-based fintech company Helicap.

The startup will use the funding to support the needs of students across the Philippines and Indonesia by offering them affordable tuition instalment plans.

This round comes close to a year after ErudiFi bagged US$5 million in Series A capital, co-led by Monk’s Hill Ventures and Qualgro in February 2021.

Launched in 2018, ErudiFi helps students secure funding for higher education through partnerships with leading universities and vocational schools. It operates as Danacita in Indonesia and Bukas in the Philippines.

As of December 2021, ErudiFi claims to have served more than 12,000 students and partnered with over a hundred educational institutions in Indonesia and the Philippines.

“Our partnership with Helicap enables us to further our mission of expanding access to education in Southeast Asia. The need for an affordable financing solution is greater than ever, with the ongoing pandemic leading to an increasing number of Filipino and Indonesian youths deferring further studies due to financial constraints,” said Naga Tan, CEO and Co-Founder of ErudiFi.

David Z. Wang, Co-Founder and CEO of Helicap (the parent company of Helicap Investments and Helicap Securities), said: “Education financing is a huge opportunity in Southeast Asia, and ErudiFi continues to shape and expand its trusted relationships with universities and partner institutions.”

Since 2018, Helicap has facilitated more than US$100 million in investments that improve access to financing for underbanked populations in Southeast Asia. As a signatory of the United Nations-supported Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), Helicap Investments uses its proprietary credit analytics technology to make high-impact investments and bridge the US$500 billion financing gap in Southeast Asia.

Singapore-headquartered digital container haulage platform Haulio has secured US$7 million in a Series A funding round led by Temasek unit Heliconia Capital.

New investors that joined the round are Ondine Capital (China), Cornerstone Ventures (Taiwan), FuturePlay (South Korea), Newtown Partners via the Imperial Venture Fund (South Africa), and XA Network.

Existing investors, including B7 Capital, ComfortDelGro, iSeed SEA, Iterative (US), and PSA unboXed, have also participated.

The fresh funds will be used to strengthen Haulio’s haulage capabilities, service quality, and product engineering and development. The startup is also following its regional growth ambition throughout Southeast Asia.

As per a press statement, Haulio is actively hiring top talent in strategic business functions to support its growth plans in markets like Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Vietnam.

Also read: The first-mile container logistics is ripe for digital disruption. Here’s how Haulio is doing it

Founded in 2016 by CEO Alvin Ea and CPO Sebastian Shen, Haulio connects hauliers and shippers.

“Container shipping volumes are on the rapid rise, so there needs to be greater optimisation and streamlining of haulage trips, given the increasing shortage in equipment and drivers,” said Ea. “The complex and fragmented nature of our business continues to be a challenge, especially when container haulage has been a vertical that often gets left behind.”

Haulio boasts of having onboarded 90 per cent of Singapore’s hauliers and established presences in Indonesia and Thailand. In Thailand alone, it has aggregated more than 3,000 hauliers. For shippers, Haulio provides prime mover and trailer rental and leasing service and embedded financing.

In 2021, it partnered with fintech players such as Funding Societies and Aspire to offer faster pay-out and supply chain financing and with ComfortDelgro and Goldbell to offer leasing of prime mover trucks.

As of now, Haulio claims to have transacted more than two million containers, with over 50 per cent of the transactions completed in 2021 alone. The startup expects to triple its revenue by the end of 2022 as the global supply chain rebounds.

Haulio said it also helps reduce the carbon emissions from container trucking and unnecessary transportation of empty containers due to its effective job matching and resource pooling. So far, it claims to have optimised over 200,000 containers, saving over 3,000 metric tonnes of carbon emission.

Last year, Haulio raised an undisclosed amount in pre-Series A funding. In 2018, it netted US$741,710 in seed round.

According to a market study by Quince Market Insights, the global first- and last-mile delivery market reached US$ 493.2 million in 2021 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 13.8 per cent over the forecast period 2021 to 2030. Asia is set to grow as the top player in the global maritime trade arena, especially in the SEA region with trade volumes expected to increase by 130 per cent in 2023 to US$5,653 billion.

Hongkong- and Thailand-based fintech startup Fraction has bagged US$3 million in a pre-Series A financing round led by East Ventures, it announced today.

The round also saw participation from Indonesia’s Emtek Group, Singapore-based Thakral (consulting and technology services company), V Ventures (Singapore), and unnamed regional investors.

With this, Fraction will establish its first fractional real estate offers powered by non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and distributed ledger solutions based on the Ethereum blockchain. 

Besides, the company also plans to expand into various asset classes, services and countries, with the goal of democratising access to investments and money for millions of people who are now unable to participate in these wealth-generating activities.

Fraction previously secured an undisclosed seed round from conventional finance and technology investors such as Singha Ventures, Tanarra Capital, and Skystar Capital.

Founded in 2018, Fraction enables people to own and transact pieces of real estate in the form of NFTs that have a “real-world legal link” to the property. Its offerings include ‘initial fraction offering’ (IFO) of real estate tokens, a secondary market trading platform of fractional tokens between investors, and related intermediary services covering the complete end-to-end journey.

“We can now enable true financial inclusion letting small investors participate in attractive asset classes that were previously inaccessible,” said Eka Nirapathpongporn, Co-Founder and CEO of Fraction.

With Fraction’s plug-and-play platform, individuals and companies can invest, sell and manage fractional ownership of anything — from a small stake in a city condominium, beachfront resort, or art piece, to managing a private fund, assets and investors.

As per a press statement, Fraction obtained the initial coin offering (ICO) portal license (subject to activation approval) from the Securities and Exchange Commission of Thailand (SEC).

Real estate is one of the largest markets on earth with a value of US$326 trillion in 2020, per a Savills report. London-born advisory and accountancy network Moore Global predicted that the tokenised real estate market would be on track to become a US$1.4-trillion market.

Crowdo, a Singapore-headquartered neobank for SMEs, has attracted S$8 million (~US$5.9 million) in pre-Series B investment in convertible notes.

The financing was co-led by existing shareholders Gobi Partners and iVest Capital (a Southeast Asia-focused family office), alongside SEEDS Capital (the investment arm of Enterprise Singapore).

Along with this, Crowdo has also bagged debt financing from Singapore-based Impact Investment Exchange (IIX) through its WLB4Climate, the fourth issuance in its innovative Women’s Livelihood Bond Series.

The fresh capital injection will enable Crowdo to expand its ESG (environmental, social and governance)-driven financing products for underserved SMEs. It will launch a new ESG financing product this month targeting women-led enterprises with a plan to disburse up to S$16 million (US$11.8 million) during 2022 alone.

“One of our flagship products will deliver up to US$50 million in financing to women-led businesses and companies over the next few years to promote gender equality and increase women’s access to financing,” said Crowdo CEO and Co-Founder Leo Shimada.

Founded in 2017 by Shimada and Nicola Castelnuovo, Crowdo offers two online platforms to digitise SMEs’ operations to boost productivity and understand and access financing and banking products.

“Crowdo is already catering to under-served SMEs in emerging markets and wants to boost our social impact with specially-tailored financing products with ESG impact in mind,” added Shimada.

So far, Crowdo claims to have disbursed over S$100 million (~US$73.8 million) in financing since its S$1.4 million Series A round. The startup said it recorded a 5x monthly revenue growth rate during 2021.

Crowdo is licensed by the Otoritas Jasa Keuangan (OJK) for digital lending in Indonesia and registered with the Securities Commission Malaysia.

In Malaysia, where Crowdo offers equity financing to high-growth startups, it closed 2021 having facilitated close to S$10 million (US$7.4 million) in equity investments.

In Indonesia, it has formed multiple alliances with digital banks, multi-finance institutions and conventional banks, offering its tech-driven acquisition and onboarding infrastructure and artificial intelligence-driven credit assessment technology for SME funding.

2021 was a landmark year for the growth of the voluntary carbon market. There has been a boom in demand for carbon credits– mainly driven by corporations setting net-zero targets in the face of consumer scrutiny.

According to Ecosystem Marketplace, the value of the global voluntary carbon market topped US$1 billion in 2021.

What was formerly a buyers’ market is now in the seller’s hands, driving project development financing, which will be particularly important for projects innovating to deliver negative emissions above and beyond net-zero targets.

While the growing demand for carbon credits signals the market is moving towards maturity, key issues continue to plague the voluntary carbon market, notably the lack of standardisation and transparency, ensuring that the credits are of high quality. This translates to retail mark-ups and low-quality credits without clear provenance or credibility.

Not only did 2021 show enormous growth for the voluntary carbon market and steps towards more excellent market governance through the global Taskforce on Scaling the Voluntary Carbon Markets, headed up by UN Special Envoy for Climate Action and Finance Mark Carney.

This private sector-led initiative has over 250 member institutions representing buyers and sellers, standard setters, financial sector participants, market infrastructure providers, civil society, international organisations and academics.

It is a clear step to acknowledge that market participants must work together to create a mature and trustworthy marketplace that has a real global impact on decarbonisation.

Of course, one cannot discuss the carbon markets in 2021 without mentioning COP26. Some might have hoped for a watershed moment, but instead, COP26 provided little clarification beyond the ratification of Article 6.

This means that the Paris Agreement is now fully operational– giving certainty to market participants as countries look to update their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).

As net-zero targets continue to be at the forefront of consumer expectations of corporations, big corporations will have to engage more thoroughly in the voluntary carbon markets.

Multinational organisations are in the strongest position to participate in the voluntary carbon market, offset their emissions alongside reduction practices, and create a positive impact on a global scale.

Cyberdyne tech exchange in 2021: A year of transformation

This year, Cyberdyne Tech Exchange (CTX) as a business has seen an enormous transformation, gaining two new licenses from the Monetary Authority of Singapore,  a Capital Markets Services Licence and a Recognised Market Operator licence– solidifying its position as a regulated digital asset exchange.

CTX also sold the first tranche of a new asset-backed Carbon Neutrality Token (CNT), which resolves one of the most challenging aspects of carbon credit trading– the ability to properly account for and track carbon credits using its proprietary protocols and blockchain technologies.

Using this technology, market participants can be certain the credit is of high quality, tackling the issue of double-counting that plagues the voluntary carbon market.

CTX’s Chairman, Dr Bo Bai, received the Entrepreneur 100 Awards accolade from the Singapore Association of Trade and Commerce, acknowledging CTX’s achievements and contributions to the industry, community and nation.

The company also recently signed an MoU with BSI China (of the British Standards Institution Group) on implementing carbon neutralisation and green financing standards on CTX.

The agreement includes BSI carrying out the carbon footprint verification and certification for listings on CTX’s platform and the promotion and implementation of green finance standards.

All these support the Green Finance Action Plan of the Singapore Green Plan 2030 and the ultimate goal of net-zero by 2050.

CTX will continue to leverage innovation and technology to enable organisations of all sizes to enhance their sustainability goals.

Singapore-based Carb0n.fi, a blockchain solution providing carbon offset NFTs, has closed a seed financing round of US$600,000 led by cryptocurrency VC firm Owl Ventures.

The co-investors include blockchain VC firm Blockseed Ventures, Lancer Capita, Antler Singapore, a prominent Chinese family investment office in Dubai, and CryptoFOMO.

The round also included an angel consortium of 13 fintech and crypto individuals, including Byron Grigoratos.

The funds will allow Carb0n.fi to strengthen its blockchain platform and accelerate product development.

The funding round was completed in the lead-up to Carb0n.fi’s initial dex offering (IDO) on the CardStarter launchpad scheduled for January 19th, 2022.

Carb0n.fi is an ASEAN-focused blockchain solution firm aiming to establish a carbon-zero world for the people, by the people. It combines investments, allows its users to reap the benefits from these investments, and at the same time contributes to environmental sustainability all at once.

Its platform allows users to put their crypto to work and be rewarded with carbon offsets and the project’s governance token $ZRO. For this, the firm leverages DeFi 2.0 to enable ownership of a new asset class in the form of carbon offset NFTs. Doing so will allow users to track and estimate their carbon footprint and offset it on time.

Users can also buy and sell carbon offsets on Carb0n.fi’s offset exchange and benefit from discounted transaction fees by holding $ZRO.

According to Carb0n.fi Co-Founder and CEO Bree Yek, the lack of transparency, double spending and high barriers to entry are some challenges faced by companies and individuals when trying to properly access carbon trading markets. In addition, there are also few existing incentivisation mechanisms in place to increase the participation levels for carbon-reducing activities. “Carb0n.fi was set up to change this. We believe that DeFi naturally incentivises good actors and is an efficient way to own new and growing asset classes, including carbon offsets.”

“Our fundraising is the first step to making carbon markets accessible for a lot more projects and contributing to the fight against the climate crisis,” she added.

Indonesia-based agricultural commodity marketplace PasarMikro has secured an undisclosed funding amount from existing investor 1982 Ventures.

The startup will channel the funding for hiring and reaching out to more farming communities in Indonesia.

PasarMikro was established as a pilot project in 2020 by Dien Wong, who co-founded the Indonesian game and application development company Altermyth in 2003. 

PasarMikro has grown to a B2B aggregated agribusiness marketplace with built-in finance. It provides various services to farmers and merchants for their daily transactions involving bookkeeping, lending, and a marketplace for selling their products.

“PasarMikro is looking after Indonesia’s main providers, farmers and traders who are often overlooked,” said Wong.

As the pandemic generated tailwinds for Indonesia’s US$130 billion agriculture market, the startup claims to have helped farmers trade and finance the distribution of over 5,000 tonnes of eggs and other commodities.

“We have not seen an inclusive financing model in Southeast Asia achieve what appears to be product-market fit and begin scaling as early as PasarMikro,” said 1982 Managing Partner Herston Elton Powers.

PasarMikro said it has formed a partnership with Bank Rakyat Indonesia (BRI) and Rabo Foundation (a social fund sponsored by the European agricultural bank Rabo Bank) to provide smallholder farmers with needed financing to secure their future.

According to “AgFunder ASEAN Agrifoodtech Investment Report 2020”, agritech startups raised more than US$165 million in 26 deals in 2020. As reported by WorldBank, agriculture is a significant sector in Indonesia, contributing roughly 14 per cent of the country’s GDP, employing one-third of the workforce, and dominated by smallholder farmers (93 per cent).
