Company history

UrbanIndo is founded by Arip Tirta, a former Director of Investment Analysis and Strategy of

Palo Alto, California.[7] When he was making an investment plan in real estate in Indonesia, Arip found it difficult to find the desired property in the internet since the available information was often insufficient.[8] In November 2011, Arip with Petra Novandi Barus and Margareth Jonathan launched UrbanIndo.[3] The website was bootstrap funded for the first year of its operation.[8] Since its inception, UrbanIndo provides features to make it easier to pick informed decision when buying a property.[8]

In May 2012, UrbanIndo announced its Series A funding round led by venture capital East Ventures.[1][9] June 2013 also saw another funding round led by GREE Ventures and IMJ Fenox Pte. Ltd.[10][11] The UrbanIndo mobile app is launched in March 2014 for Android and iOS.[12]

The Net Promoter Score (NPS) Gold for Property Portal Category by SWA.[13]
