startups weekly feature

Submissions at Startup Arena are coming in fast. And we have already accepted a couple of them to compete for our top prizes this June. You will love them.

Meanwhile, we’re also keeping track on the startup movements in Asia. In the last seven days, we have covered a couple of startups on Tech in Asia, specifically from China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore.

For folks who are interested in investing or partnering with these startups, drop us an email — editors[at]techinasia[dot]com – anytime. No promises, but we’ll try our best to be a bridge.
