Other platforms rely on web crawlers and volunteered information which is inherently unreliable, covers only a limited number of companies, and only provides aggregate fundraising details. VentureCap Insights only relies on source documents so our data is always accurate. We know as soon as any company raises funds or any VC investor makes an investment, making us far more comprehensive. We are also the only source of information for revenue, valuations, and much more. Here is just some of the information we provide: - The exact amount of funds raised by every company, and the amount invested by each investor, at every round - The top line financials, such as revenue, revenue growth and EBIT - The valuation of each company at every round, and the value of every investor's investment based on the last round valuation When we looked closely at other platforms we realized that they were not covering a large number of startups, and many of the startups they show as active are actually closed. Their data on fundraising was accurate and up to date only about 50% of the time. And none of them had data on revenue, valuations and other key factors. VentureCap Insights was built to change this.

BRODO is a story of two engineers in Indonesia who created a business out of their need to solve a personal dilemma about footwear. In 2010 BRODO’s now CEO Yukka was lamenting to his friend Uta that he couldn’t find shoes that fit his size 46 feet. With their engineering mindsets focused on finding a solution to this pressing problem, Yukka and Uta realized that while Indonesia had great raw materials, talented shoemakers, and factories that are utilized by multiple global companies, it lacked a local shoe brand that could make great products for Indonesia and also compete in international markets. And so BRODO was born, with a clear purpose to build a contemporary shoe brand that offers stylish, well-made and affordable footwear to Indonesian men who care about value and also values BRODO has evolved into Indonesia’s first direct to consumer footwear and lifestyle platform that utilizes and supports quality shoemakers and factories of all sizes in Indonesia to create purposeful contemporary products that meet the needs of an increasingly stylish and lifestyle-minded customer.
