e27.co is one of the leading tech blogs covering Asian startups and their annual event Echelon is one of the bigger events focused on startups. To showcase their devotion in finding the very best startups around Asia they are holding satellite events in 9 major cities and last night was Hong Kong’s turn.
We helped do the last one in 2011 but missed last year – so we made up for it by helping them put on a great show at The Good Lab where 10 startups battled it out to be picked to represent Hong Kong at Echelon 2013 in Singapore in June.
We heard pitches from:
- Decision Fuel
- English Adventureland
- GoIDD
- Hotel Quickly
- Perpetu
- SocialAgent.me
- StampUp
- Verbase
- Vimantra
- PhatRice
Over 200 people packed into The Good Lab to hear the pitches and the winner by the audience reaction and the judges pick was…
Perpetu! A startup that was founded early last year at a Startup Weekend Hong Kong and has now launched officially – in a nutshell, what happens to all your social media platforms when you pass away? Perpetu offers you a safe way to figure out what your last tweet and status update will be!
And they have a special offer for everyone following their win:
