10 Startups That Caught Our Eye Last Week

startups-in-asia

We have a couple of Asian tech startups on our radar this week, specifically from China, Korea, Indonesia, Nepal, Singapore, and Hong Kong for this week.

For folks who are interested in investing or partnering with these startups, drop us an email — hello[at]penn-olson[dot]com – anytime. No promises, but we’ll try our best to be a bridge. And if you’re a tech startup founder in Asia hoping to be featured, kindly send us your pitch here.

Claiming a 100 percent success rate at recognizing and saving contact data from your business cards, it does all this with the user just pressing one button – the camera’s shutter.


5. Grepsr | Australia, Nepal


Grepsr is a data extraction and web crawling service which you can use if you need to automate data collection from places on the web…


6. MediaPop | Singapore
