Tech in Asia is a Singapore- and Jakarta-based technology news website covering topics on startups and innovation in Asia. Backed by Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin in 2015,[1] it has hosted annual conferences across the continent primarily in Singapore, Tokyo, and Jakarta since 2012.[2]
In January 2024, it was reported that SPH Media had completed its purchase of the company.[3]
History and growth
[edit ]Founded in 2010 by Willis Wee during his third year at university,[4] Tech in Asia maintains a focus on Asian and Southeast Asian countries, often covering startups and legislative developments from Singapore, Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, China and India.
One year before offering its articles through its subscription program in November 2017, it raised US6ドル.6 million in funding led by Hanwha Investment and Securities.[5]
In 2018, in addition to launching a marketing agency providing integrated media, marketing, events, and design solutions for brands,[6] it also hosts annual Tech in Asia Conference for tech companies and VCs in Asia.[7]
Subscription program
[edit ]In October 2018, Tech in Asia launched its subscription program where it moved from offering free articles previously to a paywall-like structure. In its initial iteration, the single-tier paid subscription offered users access to five free articles per month, after which they were asked to pay US18ドル a month or US180ドル a year.[8]
Currently, the portal offers three subscription plans, ranging from free to US16ドル.58 per month.[9] All of its plans are billed yearly, with the uppermost tier now costing US199ドル per year. A mid-level subscription, priced at US59ドル per year, offers limited access to the portal's "Premium" coverage.
Tech in Asia Indonesia
[edit ]It maintains a standalone Tech in Asia Indonesia website[10] which exclusively publishes Indonesian-language content. The websites are staffed by different teams, each creating their own content and maintaining separate production schedules.
