And if you’re a tech startup based in Asia hoping to get featured, please send us your pitch here.
1. FusionCharts | India
I interviewed the founder of India-based FusionCharts, Pallav Nadhani, about a year ago. It was great fun documenting his story. As we noted then, story of FusionCharts started when he was age 17. He found charts boring and thought they could be made sexier and more interactive. He founded FusionCharts in 2002 and since then, the product has been used by some big names in the web world, including Google (Google Docs), LinkedIn, and Weather.com…
2. Buffet Mania | Singapore
Food apps seem to be all over the place lately. We’ve had both Chope and Burpple release new iPhone apps over the past couple of weeks, and now Buffet Mania is the latest to unroll a new updated iPhone app, supporting new features to enhance your hungry quest with a variety of buffets in Singapore.
3. Clozette | Singapore
Fashion social network, Clozette, this week announced that it has successfully raised S$2.4 million (US$1.9 million) in its series A funding, bringing the total funds raised by the startup to S$3.85 million (US$3.06 million) from its seed round last in April 2011. This latest investment round is led by Seed Ventures IV, a S$20 million (US$16 million) venture fund under the Singapore National Research Foundation’s (NRF) Early Stage Venture Funding (ESVF) scheme by Walden International.
4. Wolianxi | China
Wolianxi (loose translation: connect me) reminds me of Found, which is also an app that tries help users organize meet ups quickly. But Wolianxi is much more straightforward. The Chinese app follows common outing behaviors of Chinese users which includes karaoke, games, travel, and group buying collections.
5. Tujia | China
Readers may recall back in January when we looked at Chinese startup Tujia, a vacation home rental service which offers hotel-like online booking for your home if you’re on holiday. And now this evening there’s word from venture capital firm Lightspeed China Partners that it has made a series A investment in Tujia, along with CDH Investments and Ctrip International.
