8 Asian Startups That Caught Our Eye This Week

startups weekly feature

Update: Some readers pointed out that we missed out two startups (thanks!), namely Hong Kong-based Frenzoo who raised $1 million this week and also Japan-based Phewtick who has a wacky idea which I find kinda brave and refreshing.

In the last seven days, we have covered a couple of startups on Tech in Asia, specifically from China, Indonesia, and Singapore. This week, our team is also at GMIC 2012 to cover some interesting topics surrounding entrepreneurship, which are listed below.

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 the bridge.

And if you’re a tech startup based in Asia hoping to get featured, please send us your pitch here.


1. Wildby | Singapore


Kids tend to ask many different types of questions, sometimes too many for parents to be able to answer. One solution that can offer some help to parents is Wildby is a voice-controlled Android application specially catered for children.


2. Qeon | Indonesia


Qeon was recently launched at the Scusa Intercontinental Mid Plaza Hotel, Jakarta, where it also featured its first game, Shadow Company. Founded back in June of 2011, Qeon Interactive will focus on publishing games from Korea, Japan, China, and Taiwan into the Indonesian market.


3. Burpple | Singapore


Mixing photo-sharing with foodie fanaticism, the Singapore-based social food journal Burpple.com has launched its iPhone app after a few weeks in open beta.
