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.
