KUALA LUMPUR – CyberAgent Capital Inc has announced that Monthly Pitch Asia, its biggest global monthly fundraising event in Japan for start-ups targeted to Southeast Asia, was held online.

Since time is crucial and limited, the company started Monthly Pitch where early-stage entrepreneurs can quickly meet investors active in Asia, allowing them to spend minimal time on fundraising and concentrate on their business as much as possible.

January marks the 44th time CyberAgent Capital is holding this monthly event since 2016, with 330 companies taking the stage, making it the largest fundraising event in Japan.

The latest event, which under normal circumstances is held offline, took place online on January 13, featuring pitches from six Southeast Asian start-ups and meetings between start-ups and investors worldwide. 

According to a statement, the previous Monthly Pitch was an overseas edition held in Jakarta in 2019.

Among start-ups that took the stage were Kyna, a leading online education service in Vietnam, Edoctor, an online health platform service in Vietnam, and TheBank, a pricing comparison service for financial products in Vietnam.

Others were Getlinks, an online recruitment platform for IT personnel in Thailand, Viddsee (Indonesia, Singapore), the world’s largest professional creator platform for short movies in Southeast Asia, and Moladin (Indonesia), the biggest EC platform service specialising in motorbikes and cars.

CyberAgent Capital is an investment enterprise leading global innovation jointly with unicorn start-ups. – Bernama, January 22, 2021
