PwC Indonesia and Amvesindo Strengthen Venture Capital Governance in Indonesia

PwC Indonesia, in collaboration with the Indonesian Venture Capital and Startup Association (Amvesindo), recently convened industry leaders for a Halal Bihalal gathering and Executive Workshop aimed at strengthening governance and collaboration across Indonesia’s venture capital ecosystem.

Held on April 8, 2026 at World Trade Centre 3 in Jakarta, the event brought together 63 Amvesindo member companies, alongside startups, research institutions, and ecosystem partners. The gathering served as a timely platform for stakeholders to discuss the evolving challenges facing Indonesia’s startup and venture capital sectors amid global economic uncertainty.

The discussions underscored the importance of strong governance, effective risk management, and operational resilience as essential foundations for sustainable industry growth. Representatives from Indonesia’s Financial Services Authority (OJK) highlighted that sound governance remains critical to maintaining the health and credibility of the venture capital industry, while industry participants emphasized the need to balance growth ambitions with robust business fundamentals.

As part of the programme, PwC Indonesia facilitated an Executive Workshop on forensic audit and fraud risk in startup investments, focusing on the importance of implementing controls at an early stage to reduce exposure to fraud and operational risk.

Sacha Winzenried, Director of PwC Indonesia, highlighted the strategic importance of these measures, noting that strengthening governance and risk management is essential for preventing mismanagement and fraud while protecting the reputation of the venture capital industry.

The collaboration between PwC Indonesia and Amvesindo reflects a shared commitment to building a more resilient, transparent, and sustainable venture capital ecosystem, one that can better support innovation and long-term growth in Indonesia’s dynamic startup landscape.
