Hello reader,
Variety truly is the spice of life.
How many people can honestly say they’d be okay with doing the same things every single day? Imagine eating the same exact dish, three times a day, for the rest of your life. It’d be like living in some sort of Sisyphean nightmare.
That’s why it’s important that once in a while, things get switched up and new ideas or experiences get introduced.
This week’s list of top deals is one of those times. Normally, we see startups coming from the usual suspects of Indonesia, India, or Singapore, but this time around, only India made the list. Instead, the rest hail from less common markets like Japan, Australia, and even Turkey.
Let’s take a look at these fresh faces and their equally fresh funding.
