UrbanIndo is an online real estate destination providing buyers, sellers and renters of properties throughout Indonesia. Founded in November 2011, UrbanIndo provides a range of services to commercial real estate users, agents, owners, investors and developers to find their desired properties, such as keyword searches, map views, photo gallery and agent searches. The website combines property listing with market information and analytic that user need to make informed decision.
UrbanIndo is founded by Arip Tirta, a former Director of Investment Analysis and Strategy of Hercules Technology Growth Capital in Palo Alto, California. 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. In November 2011, Arip with Petra Novandi Barus and Margareth Jonathan launched UrbanIndo. The website was bootstrap funded for the first year of its operation. Since its inception, UrbanIndo provides features to make it easier to pick informed decision when buying a property.
In May 2012, UrbanIndo announced its Series A funding round led by venture capital East Ventures. June 2013 also saw another funding round led by GREE Ventures and IMJ Fenox Pte. Ltd. The UrbanIndo mobile app is launched in March 2014 for Android and iOS.
In February 2015, UrbanIndo was awarded The Net Promoter Score (NPS) Gold for Property Portal Category by SWA.
