Hendri Wijaya

Bruh, listen up about Hendri Wijaya. This guy’s the real deal, a legit startup hustler from Indonesia who’s been crushing it across multiple fronts. He’s part of YC W22, so you know he’s got that fire, that edge that gets founders into the big leagues.

Hendri’s process started with a bunch of different gigs, but what’s wild is he’s been all-in on building stuff that actually solves problems. He’s been involved in UpBanx, which is like the Brex for D2C brands and content creators in Indonesia, so he’s not just throwing shit at the wall, he’s solving real pain points for businesses trying to scale in Indonesia’s booming e-commerce scene. That startup hit a $5.2 million pre-seed round in Jan 2022, so he’s not just talking, he’s out here raising big bucks early on.

Before that, he’s been involved with Proudjek, Bisa Invest, and even worked with the Directorate General of Taxes, so dude’s got a mix of startup hustle and some serious government experience. That combo? It’s rare. It shows he’s about more than just startups; he’s all in on creating real impact, understanding the regs, and pushing innovation in tough environments.

What’s crazy is his vibe, he’s super active on socials like Instagram (@hendryulius) where he shares his process, and he’s even been featured in articles about crypto startups in YC’s latest batch. Like, he’s plugged into the whole tech scene, constantly jumping into new spaces, exploring crypto, and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.

Bottom line: Hendri’s a dude who’s wired to build, to innovate, and to be productive. He’s not afraid to jump into big problems, whether that’s raising millions, working with government, or launching startups that shake up industries. He’s got this mix of hustle, smarts, and a real understanding of the local scene but with global ambitions. No Cap, he’s one to watch, he’s got the grit, the vision, and the connections to keep making waves.
