AC Ventures, a leading Southeast Asian venture capital firm, has officially released its 2024 Impact Report, titled “Accelerating Impact into New Heights.” Developed in collaboration with Deloitte in Indonesia, the report underscores AC Ventures’ commitment to fostering innovation, advancing sustainability, and driving meaningful change across Indonesia and the broader region. Covering the firm’s achievements and progress, the report offers an in-depth exploration of AC Ventures’ contributions across three core pillars: economic growth, social inclusion, and environmental sustainability.

Helen Wong, managing partner at AC Ventures, stated, “At AC Ventures, we firmly believe venture capital has the power to transform industries and lives for the better. This report highlights how our portfolio companies are championing innovation while making a tangible impact and fighting climate change. From empowering communities to accelerating sustainability, our mission is to build a future where businesses thrive alongside an inclusive society and a sustainable environment.”

The Impact Report highlights AC Ventures’ ongoing commitment to drive positive outcomes. Over 30,000 direct jobs were created by AC Ventures-backed companies, empowering more than four million individuals and businesses through digital tools and financial inclusion. 40% of these companies are led or co-led by women, advancing gender equity in Southeast Asia. Companies like Supermom are actively bridging opportunity gaps.

Deloitte, which played a key role in guiding the development of the report, emphasised its importance as a tool for transparency and progress. Imelda M. Orbito, Director at PT Deloitte Konsultan Indonesia, who also serves as an expert in Sustainability and Climate Change said, “An Impact Report is more than just a set of metrics—it tells the story of an organisation’s journey toward positive transformation. This report is a testament to AC Ventures’ visionary leadership and measurable contributions to society. It was an honour to collaborate with AC Ventures in structuring this report and aligning it with global best practices.”

As AC Ventures looks to the future, the firm remains committed to strong governance and advancing gender diversity within its investment strategy. Looking ahead, AC Ventures is focused on accelerating innovation, championing sustainable growth, and driving measurable impact across Southeast Asia.
