JAKARTA -- Ajaib, an investment app in Indonesia akin to Robinhood of the U.S., said on Monday it has become the country's latest unicorn after raising $153 million in its Series B funding.

Ajaib's status as a unicorn -- a private company valued at more than $1 billion -- comes just three years after its foundation and reflects growth in Indonesia's retail investing sector. Ajaib claims it is "the fastest startup to reach unicorn status in Southeast Asia."
