ARISE 2018

On Thursday 26th April 2018, Instellar held ARISE (Awaken & Rediscover Indonesian Social Enterprises). ARISE is Instellar’s annual event where we introduce our social enterprises who already graduated from the Rise Inc. program. At ARISE, the social enterprises not only focus on pitching to the investors or funders but also emphasize introducing their organizations along with the services and products to the public to increase awareness.

This event featured discussion panels by stakeholders such as the private sector, government, intermediaries, social enterprises, associations, and other relevant stakeholders in the social enterprise sector in Indonesia and in the South East Asia region. This year ARISE raises the theme of “Impactful Technology For A Sustainable Future”, both informing and inspiring the audience on how sustainability can be influenced or even shaped by technology.

The second session, “From Platform To Machine Learning: Innovation That Defines Us” was to share information with the audience about frontier digital technology development which will massively affect people’s lives. A particular discussion segment focused on social impact, and whether technologies will be better enablers to create and scale social or environmental impact.

After that is the “Harnessing Technology for Inclusive Finance” session that was about the recent development in the finance industry in using technology to provide better services to more customers, including reaching out to a wider population, such as millennials and people in rural areas.

The last session is also a Demo Day for Rise Inc Star 4, our flagship program. This time 23 social entrepreneurs have undergone the six months incubation process in the Rise Inc program.

ARISE 2019

Jakarta, 10 October 2019 – A culture that glorifies overwork and burnout has become one of the main challenges across industries, including startups and social entrepreneurship. Seeking funds or loans, managing financial reports and beneficiaries, conducting business model iterations as well as impact models are activities that require good time and energy management. Highlighting the importance of mission, meaning, and materiality, we are challenged to find a balance point between maintaining complete well-being (being well) and achieving business success (doing well).

Instellar as one of the drivers of the social entrepreneurship ecosystem remains consistent in holding various incubation and acceleration activities for entrepreneurs and social innovators to build networks and partnerships with various parties. This time Awaken & Rediscover Indonesian Social Enterprise (ARISE) with the theme Being Well and Doing Well is here as an arena for various social innovation actors who want to learn the practice of balancing work and life better.

“Entrepreneurial success is usually business success achieved in the shortest possible time with the greatest profit. However, this often comes at the expense of the physical and mental health of these entrepreneurs. We need to redefine success to include not only business success, but also the full well-being of the people who run the business, physically, mentally, and socially.” explains Romy Cahyadi, CEO of Instellar.

ARISE featured a panel session on Work + Well-being in Sustaining Impact. This session is to highlight the challenges we face to maintain jobs and well-being in the 21st century. To practice the balance of how we keep doing the best things, the panelists will share their inspirational ways and stories. Together with Mirna Harahap – GM of Human Resources of The Body Shop Indonesia, Shinta Nurfauzia – CEO and Co-Founder of Lemonilo, and Bagia A Saputra – Human Resources Director of The Golden Space Indonesia

ARISE is also a place to show performance for alumni of the Rise Inc incubation program. This time 10 social entrepreneurs from 36 participants who have undergone the incubation process in the Rise Inc program. 6 and 7 made presentations in front of selected panelists consisting of Burhan Solihin, Executive Director of Tempo.co, Muhammad Neil El Himam, Director of Information and Communication Technology of the Creative Economy Agency (Bekraf), and Kevin Moon, Head of Social Entrepreneur Investment from Lonsdale Innovation Capital. . During the program, Instellar intensively provided assistance on business planning, marketing, and finance, to access funding sources in the form of grants and soft loans for the best social entrepreneurs.

The third ARISE was held on Thursday, October 10, 2019, at the Jakarta Design Center, Jakarta.
