The company now has over 1,000 employees in China, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, and Brazil, with local talents account for more than 90%.
“Due to the differences in culture, market, and consumption habits among Southeast Asian countries, there are high requirements for the localized service capabilities of regional companies, which Jet Commerce will also focus on. In addition, we will continue to strengthen our localization capabilities, expand our online market channels, and deepen our services,” said Oliver Yang, founder and CEO of Jet Commerce Group.
Meanwhile, Hidden Hill Capital, one of the series’ lead investors is optimistic on the potential of the e-commerce sector in emerging markets such as Southeast Asia.
“The entire market will rapidly move online and focus on branding, as we can see. Based on the complexity of the e-commerce operating environment in emerging markets, we believe e-commerce services will be more valuable, and Jet Commerce can stand out as a global one-stop e-commerce service and a leading player in brand incubation, if we look at the general trend of China’s supply chain going overseas to emerging markets,” said Dongfang Hao, Chairman and Managing Partner of Hidden Hill Capital.
