## Quick verdict

Strong General Directory pick — #63 of 276, DR 82, free to submit. Worth it for APAC startups with news or database profiles; skip if you lack an Asia-Pacific angle.

**Best for:** Southeast and East Asia startups with funding, launch, or expansion news · Founders adding APAC visibility via Tech in Asia startup database entries

## Approval & timeline

- **Time-to-live:** Startup database entries may publish within days. Editorial news pitches take days to weeks with no guarantee.
- **Review:** Editorial review for news pitches. Database listings checked for APAC relevance and basic company validity.
- **Common rejections:** Non-APAC stories without global hook, pure advertorial pitches, duplicate database entries, or incomplete company data.
- **Reputation:** Database presence alone sends modest traffic — pair with newsworthy pitches for referral spikes.

## Pros

- DR 82 domain with Very Strong backlink on indexed pages
- High referral traffic from APAC tech readers and newsletter audience
- Free startup database path for regional visibility
- Strong regional brand for Singapore, Indonesia, and broader SEA markets

## Cons

- APAC angle required — global SaaS without regional story underperforms
- Editorial coverage is competitive — not guaranteed from database signup alone
- Not a software buyer directory like G2 or Capterra
- English-only products in non-APAC markets see limited ROI

## What you need before you submit

- Company name, logo, website URL, and APAC market description
- Founder bios and headquarters or regional office details
- Newsworthy pitch if pursuing editorial — funding, launch, partnership
- High-res product screenshots and press-ready quotes
- Crisp one-liner explaining APAC relevance or customer traction

**Gotchas:**

- Lead pitches with regional impact — “we launched globally” is weak without APAC data
- Database profile without news may only yield backlink value, not traffic spikes
- Do not duplicate-submit same story to e27 and Tech in Asia simultaneously without tailoring

## Submission mechanics

- **Account:** Startup database signup via techinasia.com. Editorial pitches emailed to news desk — separate flows.
- **Categories:** Tags span fintech, SaaS, ecommerce, and regional verticals — must fit APAC startup ecosystem.
- **Anchor text:** Editor or profile-controlled; typically company name linking to homepage or launch URL.
- **Link placement:** Outbound links on techinasia.com news articles and startup profile pages — indexed, crawlable.
