Not everyone can use Netflix or Disney+! Here's Migo. This startup lets millions of Indonesians watch movies, TV series and more — even if they can't afford WiFi or spend on tons of GB per day! Now, they've just raised $20M in the first close of their Series C.

• Launched in 2020, they have over 1,700 partners (mostly neighborhood corner stores) for their customers.
• We wish our home WiFi was like this! Their service lets customers download a full-length movie in less than 60 seconds.

Investor check. So far, the round has been led by local media conglomerate MNC Group, and a second close will be coming soon.

🤨 Why it matters

The mass market can only afford a few GB of WiFi regularly — unlike most of us with practically unlimited WiFi at home. Yes, they can't watch Netflix, Youtube and other streaming sites if they want to binge shows and movies.

But more importantly? Having limited to no WiFi access means they can't even access online educational videos and resources and other digital products and services too.

📲 How to go on Migo

Just download the Migo app and buy a Migo pass to get access. Then, you'll be all set. Just head to a Migo partner nearby and quickly download as much content you want over their WiFi/data — and start watching.

• Pay for what you need. They have different packages: 3,000 IDR ($0.2) for one day of Migo access, 5,000 IDR ($0.33) for 3 days, 10,000 IDR ($0.66) for 7 days or 30,000 IDR ($2) for 30 days.
• We wish our home WiFi was this fast! Download a full-length movie in less than 60 seconds.
