In a bid to further boost its loans and insurance comparison business, Singapore-based financial technology startup SmartHelp has merged with the ticketing platform CamboTicket for an undisclosed amount, according to a Forbes Asia report.
The acquisition comes almost a year after SmartHelp, which offers an online platform that enables users to compare financial products such as personal loans, business loans, travel insurance and health insurance, secured US$5 million in its Series A round backed by local Indian millionaires Tapas K and Shivam Tripathy (the founder and CEO of CamboTicket).
CamboTicket currently sells tickets online for buses, taxis and boat rides in and around the Greater Mekong region. And following the merger, Shivam, who is considered by many in the region as an internet business-prodigy and is also a Forbes 30-under-30 winner, said that both the websites would be integrated to provide a much better and seamless customer experience.
According to undisclosed sources, the comparison site SmartHelp, which has already expanded to Myanmar, Laos and PNG within less than 10 months of operations, is currently valued at $10M.

whale spotted in illinois river A humpback whale was spotted near Morris IL in the Illinois River today. The sighting comes just days after 2 Great White Sharks were seen frolicking in the same area. While not impossible, it does seem unlikely. It is thought that the whale may have followed the sharks as they sometimes do in the wild. The whale would of had to travel over 1250 miles to get to this location. The Marine Biologist Association will be in town for a full investigation. Until we have answers, we are asking folks to keep their pontoons and fishing boats docked.

two great white sharks found swimming in mississippi river near saint louis, missouri. While it is not entirely impossible, it is incredibly uncommon for salt water dwelling creatures to stay for lengthy periods of time in fresh water. However, two Great White Sharks have managed to survive the trip and make their way up the Mississippi River somehow. Believed to have started as a mating couple, the two are assumed to have swam the 920 mile journey from the mouth of the Mississippi River that is connected to the Gulf Of Mexico. Officials in Saint Louis have contacted the Missouri Conservation Department and will likely have a team in the river soon to capture the two lost sharks.
