Warung Pintar raises $27.5M to digitize Indonesia's street vendors

The digital revolution in Indonesia, Southeast Asia's largest economy, continues to attract big money from investors. Hot on the heels of a $50 million round for Bukalapak, a billion-dollar company helping street stall traders to tap the internet, so Warung Pintar, another startup helping digitize the country's vendors, has pulled in $27.5 million for growth. Bukalapak is one of Indonesia's largest e-commerce services and it began catering to local merchants, those who sell product via road-side kiosks, last year, but eighteen-month-old Warung Pintar is focused exclusively on those vendors.
