Alpha JWC and M Venture Partners, along with angel investors, have announced their pre-seed funding for KarirLab, an Indonesia-based online platform that connects students and campuses with hiring employers.

The pre-seed round will allow KarirLab to speed up product development, grow its team, and form strategic alliances with top universities and employers, the company said in a statement on Monday.
