STW - asian tech startups list

Here’s our newest round-up of the featured startups on our site this week. As usual, for startup tips and story suggestions, feel free to email us. Alternatively, you can submit tips here and/or tell us about your startup here. Enjoy this week’s list!

1. WiFlux | Singapore

WiFlux is developed by a Singaporean startup which offers you a glimpse of the future with a wafer-thin battery booster that can charge any phone wirelessly, and the project is now going after crowdfunding on Indiegogo.


2. Wandoujia | China

Launched in 2011, Beijing-based Wandoujia is one of China’s top alternative Android app stores. With an eye on aesthetics, the startup has been running a weekly award for the most gorgeous Android apps.


3. Vault Dragon| Singapore

Currently in a cloased beta, Singapore’s Vault Dragon is like a Dropbox for physical things, designed for convenience. Users won’t need to leave their house to store or retrieve the goods. Using a specially developed app, they can remember what’s in their vaults and plan pickups at their convenience.


4. TaxiKick | Philippines

Seeing how abusive some taxi drivers can be, the founders of TaxiKick built a web app that serves as a platform for commuters to complain about rude drivers. All they have to do is to note the plate number, the taxi name, and input their complaint on the site. The startup has also recently partnered with Malaysia-based startup GrabTaxi to nudge taxi drivers to become more responsible.


5. MUSiiCO | Indonesia

MUSiiCO is a website that aggregates and curates high quality Indonesian music videos, and was founded to expose Indonesian music videos and potential Indonesian musicians who have gone undiscovered due to lack of promotion or under independent labels.


6. Instapps | Malaysia

Instapps takes a similar approach to Facebook commerce. But instead of building a dashboard for people selling straight from their Facebook Page, Instapps helps users customize full-on stores via Facebook’s Apps platform.

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!
