4. Aothun | Vietnam
Aothun is a four-year old Vietnam-based design and printing startup which has been on an inspiring – and terrifyingly rollercoaster – entrepreneurial journey so far. It has a vision for incubating a thousand fashion and design startups in the next two years.
5. Quit Pro | Singapore
Are you looking to quit smoking this year? Here’s a new application from Singapore-based Bitsmedia which could help you meet that challenge. Quit Pro takes an analytical approach to kicking the habit and also includes various options that can be customized to your own needs.
6. Kamado | Japan
Tokyo-based startup Kamado, which runs auction site Livlis and photo curation site Clipie, was acquired by the country’s top social site, Mixi.
7. Kumami | China
With Chinese parents terrified by food safety issues for pretty much anything that’s made in China, local startup Kumami (the name, fittingly, means “Cool Mommy”) wants to come to the rescue. It’s an online flash sales mall that offers children’s products imported from the US and Europe at discounted prices.
