2. Insider | Turkey (Startup Profile)

Istanbul-based Insider describes itself as a “predictive marketing technology company,” and offers a SaaS product helping businesses increase sales conversion and revenue. Its services are used by over 200 paying enterprise clients, including the likes of MasterCard, Ebay, and AVIS.


3. U-Hop | Philippines (Startup Profile)

Similar to Uber and its ilk, u-Hop allows commuters to book rides through its website and app. However, unlike Uber, U-Hop makes use of shuttles, which can seat seven to 12 passengers per trip. All trips are scheduled in advance, and fares are paid the same way. Prices are fixed at a monthly rate and is way cheaper than a roundtrip by taxi or a normal shuttle. This startup was also the winner of our recent Arena pitch battle at Tech in Asia Jakarta 2015.

I love creating great experiences for people. Also dabbles in florals and lettering, a fair bit of gaming, and enjoys lots of traveling. Happy to connect for collaborations for Tech In Asia events!
