Key faith markers:

- Partner at Sovereign's Capital (explicitly faith-driven PE firm co-founded by Henry Kaestner/Jeff Horing) [S1][S2]
- Spoken at Eagles Leadership Conference on "Sustaining Business with Purpose" — explicitly Christian framing [S4]
- Public statement: "A purposeful business is taking a step further and saying: I'm willing to sacrifice. It's a death to self, an immediate inspiration from Jesus' message in the Bible" [S4]

WARM PATH & RELATIONSHIPS
Why he belongs: David Tjokrorahardjo sits at the intersection of faith-driven investing (Sovereign's Capital), venture building (MD Co.), and global Christian leadership (Maxwell, JPCC). His Indonesian-American bridge and Sovereign's Capital partnership connect him directly to Henry Kaestner's ecosystem.
Warm path: Through Sovereign's Capital partners (Henry Kaestner, Jeff Horing). Through Jakarta Praise Community Church network. Through Maxwell Leadership.
Honest caveats: Based primarily in Indonesia — geographic distance from U.S. faith-capital networks. Net worth unclear but likely meaningful. Value is in the Indonesian faith-business bridge and Sovereign's Capital network access.
Sovereign's Capital:
- Luke Roush — Managing Partner (IN GENESIS NETWORK)
- Henry Kaestner — Co-Founder (IN GENESIS NETWORK)
- Broader Sovereign's Capital team
Faith Driven Investor:
- 100,000+ entrepreneurs and investors across 130+ countries
- Connected through Sovereign's Capital → FDI ecosystem
Family:
- Soetekdjo Tjokrorahardjo — father
- Lanny Riady — mother (possible Lippo Group connection — UNVERIFIED)
- Wife (met 2000, married ~2001)
Indonesian business community:
- Indonesian Christian business network (significant minority community)
- Jakarta-based entrepreneurs in Sovereign's Capital pipeline
Why he belongs: David Tjokrorahardjo is the Jakarta gateway to Sovereign's Capital — a $1B+ faith-driven investment firm with 85+ portfolio companies across the U.S. and Southeast Asia. He represents the international dimension of faith-driven capital deployment. His portfolio includes a unicorn (Xendit), a major IPO (Grab), and NASDAQ-listed companies. He brings the Southeast Asian church and business world into connection with American faith-capital networks. His church leadership at JPCC (one of Indonesia's largest churches) gives him relational access to Indonesian Christian business leaders.
Warm path: Through Sovereign's Capital / Henry Kaestner / Faith Driven Investor network (the most direct). Also through JPCC connections or Maxwell Leadership network. Andrew Kean (Sovereign's Capital Principal, Chattanooga) or Adam Nichols (Principal, Atlanta) would be institutional connectors.
The heartbeat angle: David has built his entire career around the conviction that business should serve people, not exploit them — expressed through Jesus' death-to-self teaching. He coaches entrepreneurs, builds ventures, and deploys capital all through the lens of "people over profit." An approach that positions Genesis as infrastructure for faith-driven entrepreneurs globally (especially in Southeast Asia) would resonate. He thinks in terms of "growing people" — not just returns.
