Razelab wins Tech in Asia Tour Jakarta 2015

In the lead up to Tech in Asia Singapore on May 6 and 7, we hold Tech in Asia Tour, a ten-city tour around Asia to find the best startups to showcase. This evening, Tech in Asia Tour stopped in its first city: Jakarta.

During the event, five finalists selected from around 50 participants were given a chance to pitch in front of a panel of judges. The judges who assessed each startup and ultimately chose a winner were Stefan Jung, partner at Monk’s Hill Ventures; Andi S. Boediman, managing partner at Ideosource; Kuan Shu, principal at GREE Ventures Asia; and Kay-Mok Ku, partner at Gobi Partners.

Here are the five startups they were choosing from:

1. Vurnisio

Vurnisio is a platform where people can find home design and decoration inspiration, find local design talents, and buy decoration stuff for their house. Still in beta phase, Vurnisio also has a mobile app.

2. Razelab

Razelab developes a mobile application named Light Me Up which has same function as a glow stick or bracelet. Instead of bringing conventional glow sticks to concert, people can use this app to put on a colorful light show. The smart app will recognize the sound produced by the concert’s speaker system to change the light color.

3. Aeolus World Marinas

World Marinas is a marina database mobile application for sailors and yacht owners. It helps users locate and look up information about nearby marinas. World Marinas now covers the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, and South East Asia. It is available for iOS.

4. AMRSE

This startup provides a cloud-based automatic meter reading system for companies to monitor the use of their electricity, gas, and water supply. It helps companies predict monthly billing and project their companies’ energy usage and analysis.

5. Blackbird Messaging

Blackbird Messaging is a local Indonesian chat app. Unlike other chat apps, it allows unlimited users in its chat group. It also provides an API for developers. Blackbird Messaging is still in the development phase and was launched today. It is now available for Android.

After pitching their products to impress judges and audiences, the winner of Tech in Asia Tour Jakarta goes to … drum roll … Razelab.
