尽管交易量略有回升，但东南亚地区的初创公司融资在 9 月出现下降，逆转了 8 月的反弹趋势。此次融资正是在此背景下进行的。
根据DealStreetAsia编纂的专有数据，该地区私营公司在9月份通过32笔股权交易共筹集1.1213亿美元，反映出该地区主要经济体和初创企业领域的交易规模出现显著下降。
The funding comes as startup funding in Southeast Asia plunged in September, reversing August’s rebound, despite a slight uptick in transaction volume. Privately-held companies in the region secured $112.13 million across 32 equity deals in September, reflecting a sharp drop in transaction size across major regional economies and startup sectors, according to proprietary data compiled by DealStreetAsia.
