Past deals in Malaysia

Newswav

Series A in 2022
Newswav is a news aggregator app. Ah, Malaysia, such a unique country. We speak in so many languages, often overlapping two or three languages just in one sentence. Like,“Boss, boleh tapau kopi ais dua?”, “She’s sibeh extra, don’t need to layan”. Damn complex weih. Which is why when we decided to create Newswav, it was important to take this into consideration. We’ve designed Newswav to allow for 3 languages to work simultaneously together. Although much more complex to build than just for 1 language, we felt that it would be a much better experience for our Malaysian users.
