Runway with Telkom Group
In 2014, RUN System participated in the first batch of Indigo Incubator program held by Telkom. Seeing the big potential in this startup, Telkom promotes RUN System as one of the Distribution Partners of ERP solutions for all its customers in Indonesia.
In addition, this Yogyakarta-based startup also received support from MDI Ventures and its managed fund MDI-KB Centauri with a strong partnership with Telkom Indonesia as their go-to-market prior to the IPO.
In 2020, a subsidiary of PT. Telekomunikasi Indonesia, Tbk (Telkom), PT Metra-Net signed a Shareholder Agreement with RUNSystem. At that time, this agreement had a vision, one of which was to monetize opportunities in the online industry.
As one of its first portfolios, MDI Ventures believes that Run System is a validation of their modernized IPO thesis in comparison to other conventional VC which are much more tailored to the local stock exchange. Run System managed to grow positively on both top-line and bottom-line with profitability since day one while treating IPO as an additional funding milestone. It’s the opposite with how the usual startup dogma, where they are letting go of profit to push growth and treat IPO as one of the exit strategies.
