We build hospitality brands in Jakarta. Some are ours. Some are yours.
Owner operators behind Bebop, BRIQ, Brock and The BlueBell. Available to founders and brands who want the same team on their project.
Who Are We
We are a collective of builders, operators, and creatives behind some of Jakarta's most distinct hospitality concepts.
Basho Projects is a hospitality incubator, operator and consultancy based in Jakarta. We help founders, operators and brands bring concepts to market with clarity, speed and commercial discipline.
We run our own venues, which means every recommendation we make has already been tested against a roster, a rent cheque and a Saturday night service. We bring that same team to a small number of partner projects each year.
Some partners want the whole build. Others want us on marketing alone, or on one problem they cannot solve internally. Both work.
