The good, the bad, and the ugly of web startups at DEMO Asia | VentureBeat | News | by VentureBeat
Summary
Erwan Mace, developer relations at Google Southeast Asia, said he preferred Trade Hero over Nundino because the former had some gamification elements. To survive, they’ll have to find ways to really differentiate themselves and try to capture the Asian market before their more established competitors swoop in for the kill. It purports to be an all-in-one business platform that consists of a social network, a website, and an e-commerce site builder, as well as an “award-winning, “location-aware” search AI called Qryos (think Apple’s Siri without the voice). The damning part for me was when BCZ showed a slide promoting its “website builder”, which is essentially WordPress with plugins installed. At a flick of a switch, Google and Apple can instantly improve their mobile platform’s search functionality, rendering Phroni obsolete.
