Five Best International Startups in 2014

No. 5: Xiaomi

Xiaomi

Xiaomi is a Chinese startup launched back in 2010 that aims to become one of Samsung’s big rivals on the Chinese smartphone and consumer electronics market. Judging by how it has done so far, this ambition might just be a real possibility. With just 4 years under its belt, Xiaomi has already been valued at over $10 billion after its latest fundraising series back in August 2013.
