Funding for Malaysian food delivery startup
Malaysian food delivery startup Dahmakan has raised $2.6m in a recent funding round.
According to a report on TechCrunch, the company plans to use the funding to expand to more markets across Southeast Asia.
The company reportedly raised $1.3m in its previous funding round, in February 2017.
Unlike FoodPanda and Deliveroo, Dahmakan takes an end-to-end approach. Instead of delivering food from restaurants to customers’ homes, Dahmakan prepares the food in its own kitchens.
According to the TechCrunch report, Dahmakan is considering Indonesia and Thailand as potential new markets.
Interestingly, Dahmakan offers a “Prime” service, where customers can order 10 meals for RM199; 20 meals for RM379; and 50 meals for RM899 (and the delivery charge is built into the price). Customers who sign up for the Prime packages are also entitled to “exclusive 30 minute delivery windows”. Dahmakan’s delivery coverage area currently includes Kuala Lumpur and Puchong.
