Atma, an Indonesia-based social job platform powered by community, said Monday it has raised $5 million in an oversubscribed pre-seed round led by AC Ventures with participation from Global Founders Capital.

The founders and executives of the region’s leading companies, including GoTo Group, Advance Intelligence Group, Ula, Lummo, Kopi Kenangan, Sampoerna Strategic, MMS Group and Xiaomi also joined the round as strategic angels, Atma said in a statement.

With the new funding, Atma plans to further enhance its product, execute a go-to-market strategy, and expand the team (expected to be 100 by year-end).

Founded in 2022 by Atma focuses on solving pain points within the lower and middle-income job segment and intends to build an end-to-end ecosystem that includes a job marketplace, an upskilling institute and a community-based support system. The company aims to build the largest and most engaged community of lower and middle- income job seekers with a shared mission to get better with Atma; better job, better income; a better life.
