Although the value is not stated, the latest funding strengthens funding from previous investors such as Softbank Ventures, Sequis, Golden Gate Ventures, Philips, Heritas, and Hera Capital.
For MDI Ventures, the funding for Alodokter this time is also a follow-up funding. Because, last November, the Telkom Group subsidiary has disbursed Series C funding with other investors.
Meanwhile, Samsung Ventures invests more in start-ups in telecommunications, software, internet, bio-engineering, and innovative new technology-based healthcare services.
