Merging with a SPAC has become an increasingly popular method for closely held businesses to raise capital for growth. A potential merger with Tokopedia would also be in-line with the strategy that Bridgetown set out in its prospectus: to focus on a target in the technology, financial services or media sectors in Southeast Asia.
Tokopedia became Indonesia’s second most valuable startup, just behind ride-hailing and delivery giant Gojek, by scoring early backing from SoftBank and Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. Alphabet Inc.’s Google and Temasek Holdings Pte invested about $350 million in Tokopedia, people familiar with the matter have said. E-commerce platforms including Tokopedia, Alibaba’s Lazada Group and Shopee -- a unit of Singapore-based Sea Ltd. -- have been some of the beneficiaries of coronavirus-driven lockdowns this year as they moved quickly to serve the millions of people forced to make their first online purchases while staying home.
