2/ Southeast Asia is home to 670M people, one of the fastest growing economies, and still early innings in digitizing.
Online GDP penetration remains single digits in the region – a fraction of the US and China.
And Grab is by far the market leader.
3/ Grab is THE daily super app used by 25M people – and touches everyday lives across transport, food and payments.
They have built the clear market leader w/ 70%+ share in ride hail and 50% share in food delivery.
4/ Their super app results in a flywheel that drives superior economics.
Consumers use Grab to order breakfast, commute to work, shop for groceries, and pay their bills.
Lower cost of acquisition + higher lifetime value.
Cohorts by Year 5 are spending 3.6x more.
5/ Grab plays a key role in driving Southeast Asia forward.
They provide flexible employment to millions, fuel entrepreneurship in the region, and democratize financial access.
Through covid - Grab has been instrumental in distributing vaccines / government relief funds.
6/ Grab is just scratching the surface in financial services – a massive opportunity.
70%+ of the population lacks access to traditional banks.
They are the leader in payments, insurance, lending and investments - with the most licenses across 6 diverse countries.
7/ Importantly, exceptional teams emerge stronger from crises – and Grab certainly did.
Covid patterns like delivery, digital payments are turning into post covid habits.
Ride hail is rapidly recovering – and incredibly profitable with 60% margins (well above peers like Uber).
8/ In Grab – we see the best of Uber, DoorDash, Square and Ant Financial - with a tremendous opportunity ahead.
Hyper growth at scale with a powerful ecosystem, excellent cohorts, leading margins.
+ Massive new markets to light up in financial services / local commerce.
9/ At Altimeter – we’ve worked with Grab to assemble a set of world class, Day 1, public shareholders.
$4B+ PIPE
$750M from Altimeter
+ leading mutual / sovereign funds
Thrilled to be long-term partners to Anthony / Grab, and excited for the journey ahead!
