Pasig City, Philippines (PRWEB) December 10, 2015
Ecommerce site YouPoundit.com was declared the Retail Startup of the Year at the recently-concluded Rice Bowl Startup Awards in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The consumer electronics vendor bested peers from across Southeast Asia by combining quality online shopping experiences with hands-on customer care.
“This is a great honor not just for us but for the Philippine startup community as a whole,” said Kristian Salvo, founder and CEO of YouPoundit.com “The ASEAN startup scene has massive potential and we are thrilled to be in the company of all these rising businesses.” He was also quick to share the secret to their early success as he adds, “This also reinforces our plan of being a customer-centric business. That if we take care of the end customer, good things will happen.”
As one of the 10 winners, YouPoundit.com will be matched to interested investors and VC firms, plus media coaching.
The 2015 Rice Bowl Startup Awards—held last November 22, 2015 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia—is the first event of its kind in the ASEAN region. It celebrates fledgling enterprises that harness technology to innovate and propel business in their respective markets.
A total of 376 up-and-coming startups were nominated for various categories in the competition, which was organized by the New Entrepreneurs Foundation and initiated by the Malaysian Government. A panel of 30 judges evaluated each entry and based the selection of winners according to the following criteria: Business, Traction, Unique Selling Proposition and Investability.
