Here’s our newest round-up of the featured startups on our site this week. Remember, 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. Maaii | Hong Kong

Launched in Thailand this July, Hong Kong-made chat app Maaii focuses on features that allows users to chat and make free or low-cost phone calls, challenging similar apps like WeChat, Line, Viber, and Skype.


2. Flocations | Singapore

Flocations is a travel discovery site that is based in Singapore, which specializes in showing you what kind of travel packages fit into your budget or the type of holiday that you want, curated from an array of travel agencies. The company received seed funding last December.


3. AppInChina | China

A lack of understanding and the formidable language barrier makes it tricky for foreign developers to enter the China mobile app market. Startup Noodle’s ‘AppInChina’ service is a subscription-based model that charges developers a fee for the full package that gets an app into 20 of China’s top third-party Android app stores.


4. Sky Drone | Hong Kong

Sky Drone, which is currently running a campaign on Indiegogo, is an onboard camera system and an app that will allow hobbyists and drone pilots of all kinds to build cameras into their flying machines and then pilot them using a real-time, first-person view that’s streamed into their smartphones.


5. Carousell | Singapore

In a partnership with Singapore media giant Singapore Press Holding (SPH) Magazines, Carousell launched the SheShops Marketplace, which brings over 200,000 fashion and beauty sales listings to herworldPLUS as well as select digital editions of SPH magazine readers.


6. Wokamon | China

Wokamon is an upcoming fitness mobile app where you own a little virtual creature, which grows the more you walk. It’s like Tamatgotchi for walkers. It’s currently seeking crowdfunding on IndieGogo ahead of a possible launch in November.

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!
