It was funded by Kickstart, a capital venture by Globe Telecom from 2012 to 2013 and also received financial support from Y Combinator, Wavemaker, Omidyar Network and Patamar Capital.[1][2]

The partnership also gave GetLinks access to the Indonesian and Philippine market and expanded its customer base from 10,000 to 25,000 companies.[4]
