To strengthen and expand position in existing countries, Foodpanda, together with its affiliated brands hellofood and Delivery Club, today announced another financing round of USD 60 million from a group of investors, including various existing investors, Falcon Edge Capital and Rocket Internet AG. Since its launch in 2012, foodpanda/hellofood has raised over USD 100 Million.
Recently, the company acquired competitor Delivery Club, making it the leading food delivery marketplace in Russia.
The marketplace helps restaurants to increase delivery sales through online and mobile platforms, and provides them with constantly evolving technology and analytics. Customers can choose their favorite meal online, and Foodpanda sends the order directly to the restaurant, which delivers the meal to the customer. The company has recently launched its next generation mobile application available on major platforms.
In 2013, Foodpanda secured more than USD 20 Million funding from Phenomen Ventures and Investment AB Kinnevik, and USD 8 million from iMENA Holdings. Another USD 20 Million from a group of investors, including Phenomen Ventures, was collected in February 2014. It is active in more than 40 countries on five continents.
