5. Revolution Pre-crafted (Philippines): 

Imagine you could choose to buy a home from a store and it would be “delivered” the same way you would choose to buy a sofa from a furniture store. That idea was not far away when it was realized by Revolution Pre-crafted – an emerging start-up of the Philippines.

Born in less than 2 years, Revolution Pre-crafted has quickly become the Philippines’ first billion-dollar start-up and also the fastest company to achieve this milestone in Southeast Asia. This is also considered a miracle for a Filipino start-up, where the technology playing field is quite small and has not been compared with neighboring countries in terms of capital.
