Fresh Factory
Fresh Factory is an Indonesian smart cold chain fulfillment platform that operates a network of hyperlocal micro cold-storage hubs, transportation, and fulfillment software so food, beverage, and other temperature-sensitive brands can store, pick, pack, and deliver perishable goods to consumers and retailers faster and cheaper. Founded in Jakarta in 2020 and part of Y Combinator's Winter 2022 batch, it functions as an outsourced cold-chain backbone for e-commerce sellers and MSMEs across Indonesia.
Segari
Segari is an Indonesian e-grocery company that sources fresh fruit, vegetables, meat and staple goods directly from farmers and delivers them to urban households in the Greater Jakarta area, typically within 15 hours from farm to table. Founded in 2020, it combines a direct-to-consumer app with a network of neighborhood agents who acquire customers and handle last-mile delivery, aiming to cut out the many layers of Indonesia's traditional agricultural supply chain so consumers get fresher produce at lower prices and farmers get fairer returns.
Yango
Yango is a Dubai-headquartered technology company that started as a ride-hailing brand from the Yandex Taxi team in 2018 and has grown into a global everyday-services ecosystem. Operating in more than 30 countries across Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, Europe, and Latin America, Yango bundles mobility, food and grocery delivery, mapping, fintech, advertising, entertainment, and AI into locally adapted apps. Rather than owning fleets, it partners with local taxi companies and businesses, using a 'hyperlocal' playbook to tailor each product to regional cultures, currencies, and infrastructure.
Soofa
Soofa builds solar-powered, network-connected digital signs that turn ordinary street corners into two-way community bulletin boards. Spun out of the MIT Media Lab in 2014, the women-founded company started with a phone-charging park bench and grew into a network of zero-carbon kiosks that broadcast hyperlocal news, transit updates, and events while giving advertisers and cities measurable pedestrian data - smart, social, and sustainable street furniture for the modern city.
