HK startups cash in on strong VC flows

This year’s crop of hottest startups includes Hong Kong’s first virtual insurer; a firm aiming to revolutionise the renovation industry and a Virtual Reality entertainment startup that offers an immersive gaming experience.

In this edition of Hong Kong Business, we present a list of the 13 hottest startups in Hong Kong based on total amount of financing. This list includes companies engaged in a diverse range of sectors, from e-commerce and pet insurance to digital banking and AI chatbots. Funding was provided by both traditional big-name financiers and private investors. Although we have tried to create a comprehensive list, we cannot verify all funding amounts declared. Nevertheless, we hope you find this list sufficiently informative. Feel free to send feedback or startup pitches to [email protected].
