Company
Super
First and leading Indonesian social commerce platform
We built the Super app, a social commerce platform where community leaders in Indonesia become local retailers. It helps them find the best prices, organize logistics affordably, and communicate with buyers. Think of it as Pinduoduo but tailored to Indonesia's unique social buying patterns.
We live and operate in Surabaya and Makassar, Indonesia. After YC, we plan to keep the company based here to stay close to our users and market.
Our users and community leaders are in East Java and South Sulawesi, so we need to be nearby. Understanding local needs and logistics is crucial, and these cities are hubs for those regions.
