WhatsApp, Paypal inject funds into Gojek

The sum of the investments were not disclosed.

Indonesian ride-hailing giant Gojek has received investments from WhatsApp and Paypal as part of its latest fundraising round, reports Reuters.

WhatsApp and Paypal did not disclose the sum of their investments nor the stakes they would receive.

In a blog post, WhatsApp COO Matt Idema said that it would work with Gojek “to support the growth of millions of small businesses.” For their part, Paypal said its payments services will be integrated into Gojek.

In April, it was reported that Facebook and Gojek were in talks regarding an investment and the former had been working with three e-wallet firms in Indonesia, including Gojek’s GoPay, to launch mobile payment services in the country.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
