A parade of startups were present as part of Y Combinator's Winter 2022 cohort, Demo Day part two. That is a mouthful. We learned a lot.
What matters is that themes are emerging from the YC environment. A host of business models are being built for the population of Southeast Asia. A huge category of work around the world was Fintech.
There were some surprises. We expected more companies to be in the mix. There were fewer than we might have thought. We don't know the exact method of monetization for every software startup that pitched.
We picked a few favorites from the day's presentations to cap off the day. The following are not endorsements of any particular company or declaring winners because every reporter has their own interests and topic areas. They are the company that caught our attention. Thanks to Mary Ann Azevedo and Christine Hall for their contributions.
If you need more on demo days, Equity has you covered. We can get started with that.
Our favorite startups from YC Winter 2022, day two
The list is not in chronological order. There are links between companies and websites.
Christine Hall: DimOrder
Details: DimOrder, a Hong Kong-based company founded in 2019, is developing a restaurant point-of-sale system for Southeast Asia. Its technology enables those in the food and beverage industry to accept online payments, market to customers, order food from suppliers and receive short-term loans.
Why it’s a fave: Restaurant tech is big right now, and there is a lllloooootttt of funding going into this space. DimOrder is bringing in $183,000 monthly recurring revenue and growing 13% month over month. As the daughter of a former hotel chef, I watched my father make his food ordering lists on a legal pad and call them in. I believe systems like this would have given him that time back to focus on other things.
