1. Votinc | Indonesia


Currently in beta, Votinc is an Indonesian site that provides “crowdvoting” to help guide newbie startups through the tough decisions of their entrepreneurial journeys. The service plans to come out of beta in the coming February.


2. Shoppr | Malaysia


Shoppr is an online store aggregator app from Malaysia that draws heavily from dating app Tinder’s swipe-to-discover methodology. Users are also able to search and buy whatever they want directly via the app, which means no more time wasted being re-directed to the respective brands’ stores to checkout.


3. Stethee | Singapore


Stethee is a health service that lets the user see, hear, and feel a patient’s heartbeat. The actual heartbeat – or any other body sounds – can be streamed via bluetooth in high quality audio if Stethee is paired with the user’s phone or bluetooth headset.

All the data is captured in the companion app, which can then be shared with loved ones, or analyzed in-app to help you better understand the state of your health.


4. Flux | Taiwan


Flux is a 3D printer that functions much like other 3D printers. As it works its magic, a nozzle will spurt out filament that gradually takes the form of a recognizable shape.

Cloudwise – which offers cloud application performance management (APM) and SaaS IT monitoring services for enterprises – currently has over 300,000 corporate users, up from 100,000 in 2012. Its enterprise customers in China include big names in tech such as Xiaomi, Sina, Huawei, and all three telcos. It is revealed that the startup has secured funding from Sequoia Capital.
