Shelfy, a Japanese startup that matches business owners with interior design companies, received an investment from East Ventures. Through the platform, business owners can browse example designs by category.

Users can also select multiple examples to compare quotes and select the most affordable option.

Vmoney’s founder aims to improve access to public transportation by making payments frictionless for passengers. The company developed TAPnPASS, which is a stored-value card that makes use of near field communication (NFC) technology.

6. Four Eyes | Philippines
Four Eyes sells affordable prescriptive eyewear online. All frames are designed by the company and delivery is free. There’s a home try-on service where users can pick three frames, try them at home, and then send them back to the company. Users can get their money back if they dislike all of them. This could win over consumers who are hesitant to buy without trying a physical pair. There’s also a fun virtual try-on feature. Users upload a personal photo, and the site fits the frame over the face.
