Startups from Hong Kong
Following the Protei Hackathon & Dim Sum Lab meetup
March 2014
#1 – Protei, the DIY boat with environmental data
• Protei makes DIY boats as makers do, with fast prototyping, DIY materials and
Arduino electronics to get it work
• Has been working in Fukushima waters to test radioactivity
• Open-hardware principles: anyone can build on it! Soft launch done for a boat
now under $1000
#2 – Makibox: let’s scale down manufacturing!
• Makibox could be yet another maker doing an affordable 3D-printer
• Jonathan Buford’s goal is more to find a technology and a process to
scale down manufactuing and empower makers to find a tool to create
products that are between the prototype and the mass-production
#3 – 8securities, when trading meets social media
• Founded by the team who already made E-Trade, the first reputed
trading digital service
• 8securities mixes the lure of trading with the power of the crowds,
adding social media data to the value of stocks
• 50k users and $1bn assets played with on the platform
#4 – WeLend, the p2p loans engine in Hong Kong
• WeLend is a peer-to-peer loan platform, with 5k users who have
lent/borrowed about $300m in two years
• Typical transaction is a $10-20k, 24-month loan
#5 – BigColors, p2p platform for early-stage investors
• BigColors is a platform for early-stage investors to trade their shares, advice and
connections
• Founded by an ex-banker from Goldman Sachs & JP Morgan
• Now expanding to other countries in Asia (Singapore in Dec. 2013), $8m raised
#6 – 6Waves, mobile gaming publisher
• 6Waves publishes mobile games, has raised $17.5m so far
• Sued by King (publisher of Candy Crush) for copying too many of
its successes (Farm Heroes Saga -> Farm Epic)
