There’s a new print publication in town that’s covering Hong Kong’s startup scene!
Our own Casey Lau picked up a copy of ‘Jumpstart Magazine‘ at Garage Society where they had their launch party, which is now available at all co-working spaces, chambers of commerce, select cafes and universities.
Data analytics startup-turned-global software provider DemystData has raised US $5 million in Series A funding.
According to Big Data Pile, Investors involved in this round include Hong Kong-based Arbor Ventures, Nation Capital, P2P Equity Partners, SingTel Innov8 and Wonga founder Errol Damielin. In the past, Arbor Ventures had already invested in DemystData, along with Accion and Venture Lab.
“Big Data is booming; but data access, integration, cleansing, and interpretation is a real pain point for most financial institutions. That’s all we do,” said founder and CEO Mark Hookey. “DemystData software delivers enhanced consumer and small business risk information to augment existing systems and help clients say ‘yes’ more often.”
WHub.HK, Hong Kong’s newest startup resource that connects talent with startups and entrepreneurs with co-founders, launched on Friday.
As a profile-driven platform that showcases the team behind the startup, WHub lets startups share their company mission, products and current job openings. While startups can’t always offer the most attractive of compensation packages, they can provide perks such as flexibility, great work hours and the opportunity to make a positive impact on society.
