Say hi to Pintarnya! They've just raised a $6.3M seed led by Sequoia Capital India and General Catalyst. Launched just this month, they're building a one-stop shop for blue-collar workers to find jobs and access financial services.

• They have 100+ hiring partners including Segari and J&T Express.

🤨  Why it matters

Indonesia's 60M blue-collar workers contribute 20% of the country's GDP. (Yes, 20%!!) Yet, it's incredibly tough for them to find a job — tons get scammed. If they do find one, it rarely lasts long, and they jump from job to job. 🥲

• If that wasn't bad enough, they also can't access for loans and other financial services without a long-term and verifiable employment history and stable income.

On the business side. It's challenging to find and screen candidates quickly. Plus, even if you find the right hire, employee performance decreases if they suddenly struggle financially and can't get a loan. (Then it becomes a business problem too...)
