From tutors to tailors to handymen to hairdressers, Thailand’s very own service marketplace Seekster has got you covered. The judges in Thailand seemed to agree and chose Seekster to emerge as the TOP100 Startup Search Judges’ Choice representative for Thailand.

The Thailand Qualifier was held at dtac Accelerate’s very own Hangar Co-working space. 15 startups, including KYKLO, Kiidu, and Zmyhome, were handpicked before the actual Regional Qualifier by a judging panel of esteemed investors to pitch at the Thailand Qualifier.

With only three minutes of pitching time followed by five minutes of intense Q&A, the startups had to pitch their hearts out and impress the judges.

The judging panel comprised both local and international investors:

• Vinnie Lauria – Founding Partner, Golden Gate Ventures
• Anattaphisa Jantathai – Manager, dtac Accelerate
• Tawan Boonyawat – Business Development Manager, Intouch Holdings PLC (InVent)
• Apichai Sakulsureey – CEO, MSL Software (Thailand) Co. Ltd.

Competition was stiff as each startup brought their best pitch to impress the judges. However, Seekster was the clear winner, outshining the competition with great traction and a convincing pitch and walking away as the winner of the Judges’ Choice Award.

Seekster is a services platform aiming to simplify the process of hiring trusted and reliable service providers.
