As usual, we have quite a few Asian tech start-ups on our radar this week, from Hong Kong, China, Laos, and Singapore. For folks who are interested in investing or partnering with these start-ups, drop us an email — hello[at]penn-olson[dot]com – anytime.
And if you’re a tech start-up founder in Asia hoping to be featured, kindly send us your pitch here.
1. Stream Media | Singapore
This week, we learned that Stream Media’s MoVend, an in-app mobile payment platform for Android, BlackBerry, and Windows 7 phones has added two more payment options: Alipay and Cherry Credits.
2. XY Mobile | Laos
Most of us have mobile phones in our preferred language. Now imagine trying to use a phone whose software is all in a foreign language. I believe most of you would feel lost. And that is exactly what most Lao people (the people of Laos) have been going through. There isn’t any mobile phone that supports the Lao language today. But Allan Rasmussen and his team at XY Mobile are trying hard to change that fate.
3. ReferralCandy | Singapore
Singapore-based ReferralCandy is an app that makes referral marketing easy to set up and measure. Its referral structure is modeled after Dropbox’s two-sided incentive referral program.
4. Renmo | China
“Are you a human or a devil? Let people know your other side.” That’s the suggestive tagline of a brand-new, somewhat twisted, Chinese social network called Renmo (which means human-devil in direct translation).
5. OneSky | Hong Kong
Language translation is a much-needed service for web products which aim to serve the world, like Facebook, Google, YouTube, and Twitter. But it’s a tough process because content keeps changing and it is a real hassle to keep your translation agency constantly updated with minor tweaks. But things can be done better with technology, where a website or mobile app can integrate an API that helps to streamline the process, making translation a simpler task. OneSky is a Hong Kong-based start-up that provides such a service
