1. Blink | China
Blink, a new photo sharing and messaging app out of China, received a fresh series A investment from China’s web giant, Tencent. The photo app is very similar to Snapchat, with the ability to add some MS Paint-style graffiti, text, and an audio message on their snapshots or 16-second video.
2. Invoice2Go | Australia
Australian-based mobile invoicing company Invoice2go stunned the startup world when it raised a US$35 million in its first ever funding round. The company’s impressive numbers – such as having over an approximate US$8.7 billion in invoicing going through the app to date – had something to do with that. Check out the founder’s story here.
3. KerjaDulu | Indonesia
Launched at the start of 2014, KerjaDulu, Indonesia’s social network for job seekers and employers, announced this week that it received an angel investment of “a six-figure US dollar” amount from Budi Setiadharma, chairman of the Indonesian conglomerate PT Astra International.
4. CloudLancer | India
Founded in May 2013, CloudLancer offers web and social media marketing in India for Japanese companies. The startup has plans to launch a mobile rewards platform in India for Japanese companies. Via the platform, Indian users can earn mobile recharge credit by completing simple tasks like filling up questionnaires, downloading apps, and watching promotional movie clips.
5. AdPushUp | India
India’s AdPushUp helps users maximize and increases their ad revenue by reducing banner ad blindness. AdPushUp’s proprietary patent pending product has a machine-learning algorithm, which according to the founder, can learn and fight banner blindness. And it can easily integrate with a publisher’s current ad server or networks on its existing page layout.
6. Waygo | China
Waygo is a neat augmented reality translation app from China and it has just added support for translating Korean into English. That complements Waygo’s existing skills in Chinese-to-English and Japanese-to-English.
As with Waygo’s other languages, the Korean translation works best on signs, menus, and random text you see about your travels. You’ll still need to use a phrasebook on your travels to Japan, China, or Korea, but Waygo will help you in a way that a phrasebook cannot – by helping your eyes make sense of the text all around you.
7. Zoomcar | India
