Is Tech in Asia worth it?
Useful for startups operating in Asia Pacific, less so for anyone else. The company profile is free and gives a presence in a database investors use, but the website link on profiles carries rel nofollow. Editorial coverage is the real prize, and the help center says it is free but goes to exclusive, market moving news, funding and strong traction, not simple product launches. Article links checked had plain rel noopener. Create the profile, then pitch only when you have real news for the region.
Who should submit to Tech in Asia?
Suits startups with an Asia Pacific market, team or funding story, including SaaS and AI companies seeking investors. The site says it tracks over 100,000 tech startups and investors in the region. It does not suit makers with no Asia angle, small side projects, or anyone expecting coverage for a routine launch.
