Fantuan Delivery, an Asian food delivery service platform based in Vancouver, Canada, has raised $40m in a Series C funding round.
The funding round was co-led by US-based fresh grocery e-commerce platform GrubMarket and Celtic House Asia Partners, Fantuan’s seed round lead investor.
Other participants included VisionPlus Capital and JSD Capital, along with backers from North America and China.
Fantuan expects the new funding round to help it move closer to its aim of becoming the “overseas version of Meituan“.
In a press statement, Fantuan said: “This funding round makes Fantuan the only ethnic food delivery platform to secure substantial funding in the post-pandemic era.”
In 2022, Fantuan launched its operations in more than ten cities in Australia and the UK.
