The Bali startup scene
Bali draws a large long-term foreign population, and about 70,000 foreign resident visas were issued there in 2022, taking its long-staying non-locals past 100,000, according to Eco-Business (January 2024).
Venture capital is thinner on the island than in Jakarta. For Indonesia, Startup Genome’s Global Startup Ecosystem Report 2026 values the Jakarta ecosystem at $35 billion for 2023 to 2025, with $523 million in Seed and Series A funding. Bali founders often raise in Jakarta or Singapore, and the island is known for sustainability and remote-work companies.
