Willson Cuaca is the Co-Founder and Managing Partner of East Ventures, a sector-agnostic venture capital firm he launched in Indonesia in 2009 after working as an iPhone developer in cybersecurity. He manages both the Seed and Growth funds, investing across multiple stages in consumer Internet, mobile, and SaaS sectors with a central focus on Indonesia and Southeast Asia. While specific check sizes are not publicly detailed, Cuaca has served as the lead partner on 132 deals, indicating a strong tendency to lead investments rather than follow.
