This Week in Asia Tech Startups: 9 That Caught Our Eye

startups-in-asia

As usual, we have quite a few Asian tech startups on our radar this week, from China, Japan, Indonesia, and Singapore.

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


1. Perx | Singapore


The battle of “loyalty card on an app” gets heated up. Perx looks to be the largest player in the market now with its simple to use interface and wide range of merchants…


2. BabyTouch | China


Goo-goo… gaa-gaa… Porsche… Yes, that could be your baby’s first proper word, if a Chinese app developer has anything to do with it. The BabyTouch app for iOS is designed for kids aged from zero to three, and encourages them to learn visually and aurally as they tap on recognizable animals, foods, fruits, and… er, car logos…


3. iKeepU | China


A Chinese startup claims to have created the country’s first Instapaper/Read It Later type of cloud-powered page sync service – called iKeepU Reader. With a web app accompanied by apps for iPhone, Android, and WP7, it allows users to save any article on the web for reference or a more leisurely read at a later time…


4. iBigToy | China


If you want to buy interactive story books for your kids on the iPad, look no further than iBigToy. This Chinese app development firm is deeply focused on building digital story books – according to iTunes, iBigToy has over 100 kids’ story apps. I tried its Pinnochio lite app and I must say it works pretty well…


5. MusicYun | China


Streaming music from the cloud is no longer such a wonderment – but a Chinese music service that also lets you upload and share your own tracks? That’d be quite something. And that’s the approach taken by MusicYun, a startup from Shanghai…


6. Enswers | Korea
