The team wrapped up an amazing offsite week in Jakarta and Bandung, Indonesia, which represents a significant market for us and our portfolio companies, collaborations, and partners.

We got down to business with our yearly strategy sessions, where we truly embodied the spirit of 'the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.' Through collaborative brainstorming and open discussions, we made progress on our strategic goals.

It wasn't all work and no play though! We also had a blast bonding over epic team-building activities at Orchid Forest Cikole in Bandung!
