Beverage Brand "Thirst!" Becomes Sembrani Nusantara's First Portfolio, Secured 30 Billion Rupiah Funding

BRI Ventures (BVI) through the Sembrani Nusantara Venture Fund invests for the first time in non-fintech startups. It's also not a technology service developer startup, but a new economy. It is the local beverage brand developer Haus! in the Series A funding round. The nominal has reached 30 billion Rupiah, as well as being Sembrani's debut investment to startups.

It is said that BVI is completing several other investments through the new managed fund, which will be announced soon. As previously stated, Nusantara Sembrani's goal is to find and foster local startups in order to foster a sustainable SME ecosystem.

Since it was founded in 2018 by Gufron Syarif, currently Thirsty! already has 113 branch outlets in the Jabodetabek and Bandung areas. The market segmentation is Gen-Z and millennial, offering a variety of drinks and bread at relatively affordable prices, starting from IDR 5,000.
