update
We've reached out to Edy Sulistyo the founder and CEO of eEvent.com for comment on the news :
The reason is simply because we value VC as partner beyond the investment amount. We personally think culture, vision, and access to market is more important than anything else. Since we know Andi Boediman and Edward Chamdani at the personal level and we know what they have contributed so far to the IT industry in Indonesia, we are very confident that this partnership can take eEvent to the next level.
