Sumrize Secures US$50,000 Investment from Prominent Subang Figure Niko Rinaldo

Indonesian AI startup Sumrize has received a US$50,000 investment from Niko Rinaldo, a prominent figure from Subang with strong networks across business, institutional, and public-sector circles.

The investment marks an important milestone for Sumrize as the company continues to develop its AI platform for helping people understand, summarize, and manage group conversations more effectively.

Founded on August 17, 2025, by Alfyan Angga Saputra, Sumrize is building an AI-powered communication intelligence platform designed to surface important context from group conversations, helping users save time and avoid missing key updates, decisions, and follow-ups.

Niko Rinaldo’s interest in Sumrize began after seeing the company’s early achievements, including being recognized as Most Attractive Business at NextDev #11 by Telkomsel and representing Indonesia at the ASEAN Summit 2025 in Malaysia.

“Winning Most Attractive Business at NextDev and representing Indonesia at the ASEAN Summit 2025 show that Sumrize has been tested on competitive stages, not only through internal claims. For me, that is a strong signal that the product and the team deserve to be supported,” said Niko Rinaldo.

Niko Rinaldo is known as the Founder and President Director of PT TNR Mitra Utama, a Subang-based company with business activities across creative services, event organizing, and construction-related services. Beyond his business background, Niko is also recognized for his strong stakeholder relationships and influence across local business and institutional networks.

Responding to the investment, Sumrize CEO Alfyan Angga Saputra said:

“This investment from Mr. Niko Rinaldo is not only about funding. It is also a signal that what we are building is starting to be taken seriously by influential figures outside the startup ecosystem,” said Alfyan Angga Saputra, CEO of Sumrize.

The investment will be used to support several key areas, including product development, new feature expansion, team growth, and market expansion.

For Sumrize, this investment represents a positive step in its growth journey. It also highlights the growing opportunity for collaboration between influential local figures and emerging technology startups in Indonesia.

As Sumrize continues to grow, the company remains open to strategic conversations with partners, investors, and organizations interested in the future of AI-powered communication and knowledge management.
