Overview

Brama One Ventures (BOV) is a family office based in Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia, established in 2019. The firm focuses on investing across a variety of industries, from Seed Stage and beyond, aiming to add value to the start-up ecosystem through their expertise and experience. BOV takes an open-arm approach to founders and ventures, with the principal directly involved in the investment process. The firm's investment strategy emphasizes a founder focus, seeking entrepreneurial leaders and teams with strong leadership skills and a vision to impact society economically and socially. BOV also identifies potential synergies in its investments with its portfolio companies and networks to create a strategic and collaborative ecosystem. Additionally, the firm spots niches in the start-up market industry that differ from the crowded sectors. Brama One Ventures shares the rich heritage of the ESA Sampoerna Group, which began in 1913 as an agricultural enterprise. Over a century, the group expanded into various business segments, including food products, trading, livestock, retail, and property. In seeking new investment horizons, ESA Sampoerna commissioned a new investment mandate focusing on South-East Asia, with interests in all stages of investment, from start-ups to scale-ups, and from venture capital to private equity. The portfolio supports a diversified strategy, including start-ups and scale-ups that provide investment upside, as well as traditional businesses that offer stability and cash flows.
