East Ventures

It’s a new week, but we at East Ventures are still coming down from the peak that was Fore Coffee Investor Gathering ahead of its IPO on the Indonesia Stock Exchange last Friday! 🙂↕️ 🎊 This strategic move will support Fore Coffee’s ambitious expansion plans and solidify its position in the rapidly growing premium coffee market. Read more about the #IPO: https://east.vc/fore-ipo/ We believe our support as a leading investor further strengthens Fore Coffee’s position as a highly competitive brand, topped with strategic collaborations with our extensive network in the near future. Cheers to that, and kudos to the OG! 🥂 Vico Lomar Jhoni Kusno Robin Boe Elisa Suteja #EastVentures #ForeCoffee

Fore Coffee’s IPO amidst current ‘chaos’ in the market might pose questions like ”Why now of all times?” from the public 🤔 To that, our go-to answer is always: “We don’t wait for perfect market timing to optimize the valuation. We want to show that a company with good business is defensible in any market condition and is able to create value for public investors,” as said by Willson Cuaca, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of East Ventures. Ultimately to us, IPO is not the “end game.” We have a long-term vision and investment for Fore Coffee, and are excited to see the next chapter unfolds.
