Agung Bezharie Hadinegoro
Singapore-based early-stage venture capital firm Antler has appointed Agung Bezharie Hadinegoro as a Partner.
Hadinegoro will spearhead Antler’s investment strategy and operations in Indonesia. This aligns with Antler’s plans to invest in over 30 Indonesian companies in 2023.
Hadinegoro brings over a decade of entrepreneurial and venture capital experience. Before joining Antler, he co-founded and headed Warung Pintar, a digital platform that connects micro retailers with suppliers (manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers). Warung Pintar, backed by East Ventures, SMDV, Vertex Ventures, and OVO, was acquired by SIRCLO Group in 2022.
Before Warung Pintar, Bezharie contributed to organisations such as East Ventures and Global Entrepreneurship Program Indonesia, where he played an active role in empowering aspiring entrepreneurs by providing them with the necessary resources, funding, access to mentorship, and networking opportunities to flourish in the competitive business landscape.

Founded in Singapore in 2018, Antler partners with people across six continents to launch and scale high-potential startups that address meaningful opportunities and challenges. Its global community backs people from the beginning with co-founder matching, deep business model validation, initial capital, expansion support, and follow-on funding.
It has so far invested in over 792 companies across 25 cities worldwide and has an accumulated portfolio value of US$3.7 billion. It aims to back over 6,000 by 2030.
Antler has offices in 25 cities, including Singapore, Jakarta, Ho Chi Minh, Austin, New York, London, Berlin, Stockholm, Bangalore, Seoul, Tokyo, and Sydney.
The next residency programme in Indonesia will kick off in October 2023 in two phases. The first phase is about building the right team with co-founders who have complementary skills. During this period, Antler will provide the necessary resources and expertise worldwide to enable founders to validate their business ideas and prove product-market fit.
After the first phase of ten weeks, the strongest teams will be selected to get funded from pre-seed to beyond and expand across Indonesia and Southeast Asia.
