Impact-first capital for
Indonesia's most critical sectors

Deploying impact-first capital into Indonesia’s defining challenges — backing ventures that generate measurable social outcomes while building a more equitable and resilient nation.

WHAT SETS US APART

At TMPI, We Invest in Social Enterprises That Make a Difference in Our Ibu Pertiwi.

Indonesia-First Mandate

We invest in revenue-generating businesses aligned with TMPI’s
Impact Focus Areas derived from government national priorities.

Built and Grown in Indonesia

We invest in companies that are Indonesia-native: deep market-knowledge, regulatory fluency, and local networks. Like us, we want our founders to have operated in Indonesia’s market trenches, not just observed it.

Founder-first
Team

We favor founders who are passionate problem solvers in their field and are not afraid to surge forward in spite of the market nuances. As former founders, we empathize and seek to partner closely.

Hands-on After the Cheque

We take an active stance post-investment to hit milestones through part-time management help, networks, mentorship, follow-on capital, and impact measurement. We’re not just investors — we’re operators in the trenches with you.

Governance

For Founders

We partner with you : hands-on at the start, then intentionally step back as you mature. Your long-term incentives stay fully intact.

For Investors

TMPI takes an active board seat at entry. Upon exit, founders maintain majority stake : their alignment with the mission is permanent.

Active early. Founder-owned at Exit.

We take a directive role at the start – working shoulder-to-shoulder with founders to shape impact strategy, governance, and growth. As the venture matures, we deliberately transition control back to the founding team, ensuring they remain incentivised and empowered to lead for the long term.

TMPI takes an active ownership stake at entry to ensure impact milestones are met. Upon exit – whether through share sale or profitability – majority control returns to founders, with their long-term incentives fully intact.

Why Indonesia?

Indonesia’s defining challenges—from healthcare access to financial inclusion—are also defining opportunities. We’ve built our lives here. We know the market, the people, the potential. Our conviction is deep. Our network is local. Our capital can move fast.

INVESTMENT THEMES

Six Sectors, One Mission

We concentrate our capital in six interconnected themes where Indonesia's social and economic needs - and entrepreneurial opportunity - are greatest.

Education & Workforce

Indonesia has over 52 million students across 400,000 schools — one of the largest education systems in the world. Yet half the population is under 30, and disparities between urban and rural access remain severe.

President Prabowo has committed $42 billion through his Asta Cita plan, including the construction of over 10,000 new schools. We invest in ed-tech and training platforms that can meet this demand at scale.

→ Early childhood Ed-Tech

→ Teacher & student training curriculum IP

→ Teacher capacity platforms

→ Recognition of prior learning

Healthcare and Nutrition

Indonesia spends just 2.94% of GDP on healthcare — with per capita health spending of $138 versus Malaysia’s $458. An estimated 4.48 million children under five are affected by stunting, making it the country’s most prevalent form of child malnutrition.

There is a massive gap between need and infrastructure. We need scalable and preventive ventures to help close it.

→ MBG kitchen & distribution delivery

→ Last-mile care delivery

→ Maternal & child nutrition

→ Affordable diagnostics (TB, Dengue, NCD)

Food Security

Indonesia loses approximately 20% of its harvested crops each year due to post-harvest inefficiencies — amounting to roughly 300 kg of food lost per person annually.

In fisheries alone, 20–29% of fresh fish is lost in the domestic supply chain. 

Technology-driven solutions in supply chain, precision agriculture, and cold chain infrastructure can unlock enormous value.

→ Agricultural value chain

→ Fisheries & aquaculture

→ Food waste to food security

→ Precision & yield management agriculture

Economic Inclusion

Indonesia has roughly 66 million MSMEs — representing 99% of all businesses and 61% of GDP. Yet the MSME financing gap is approximately $165 billion, with nearly 70% of MSMEs reporting difficulty accessing loans.

Almost half of all Indonesian adults remain unbanked or underbanked. Only 13% of MSMEs leverage digital platforms.

We back ventures that digitise, finance, and formalise the backbone of Indonesia’s economy.

→ MSME digitisation & finance

→ Women economic participation

→ Remittance & financial corridors

→ Blue-collar job platforms

AI, Energy, and Sustainability

Indonesia has a renewable energy potential of 3,692 GW — among the richest in the world — yet renewables account for only about 16% of its power mix.

Coal still provides around 68% of electricity. In 2024, the country spent over $36 billion on imported crude oil and natural gas. Annual renewable energy investment sits at just $1.6 billion against an estimated need of $16.2 billion per year. Meanwhile, domestic data center capacity is projected to grow from 1.44 GW to 3.56 GW by 2030, creating surging demand for clean power.

The opportunity for green MSMEs, ESG supply chains, and off-grid renewables is massive and under-invested.

→ Green MSMEs & ESG supply chain compliance

→ Precision & yield management agriculture

→ Crop insurance

→ Renewable energy access solutions

Human Capital

Around 16% of Indonesia’s 44 million young people (ages 15–24) are unemployed : more than double the rate in neighbouring Thailand and Vietnam. Nearly 10 million youths are out of work, largely due to a mismatch between education and labour market needs. About 56% of the total workforce remains in the informal sector.

Vocational skills matching, university-to-job platforms, and diaspora re-entry programmes can help convert Indonesia’s demographic dividend into productive human capital.

→ Vocational skills matching (SMK-to-job)

→ University-to-job matching platforms

→ Gig-to-formal employment pathways

→ Diaspora talent re-entry programmes

INVESTMENT CRITERIA

What We Look for in a Venture

We back revenue-generating businesses and evaluate every opportunity across six dimensions. Impact alignment is non-negotiable – the rest reflects our conviction that great impact ventures are also great businesses.

01
Theme alignment & measurable development impact
Does the venture operate within TMPI's six themes, and does its trajectory meaningfully move Indonesia's development indicators?
02
Team
Do the founders have the credibility, resilience, and integrity to execute in this market? We back people as much as ideas.
03
Product
Does it solve the right problem today? Is there a credible roadmap — including AI/ML where relevant — for what comes next?
04
Business Model
Great impact ventures are also great businesses. Is the unit economics story coherent? What are the near — and long-term capital needs, and is the model built to sustain itself?
05
Job Creation
Does growth translate into quality employment for Indonesians? How many jobs can this venture realistically create at scale?
06
Impact Network Effects
Does impact compound as adoption grows? We prioritise ventures where reach and depth of social outcomes scale together.
