The company completed a $55 million refinancing and fundraise on September 30, 2024, led by Mars Growth Capital (a JV between Liquidity Group and MUFG), with participation from existing investors Perwyn, Kinnevik, 83North, and Felix Capital. This brings total funding raised to over $275 million across multiple rounds, including a $130 million Series D in 2021 for market expansion and M&A. The new capital will accelerate expansion, particularly into North America to serve broader minority ethnic communities, enhance services, invest in AI and machine learning for operations, pursue acquisitions, and expand into groceries while maintaining high standards for customers and delivery riders. In 2024, HungryPanda achieved profitability alongside over 30% annual growth, demonstrating resilience in the competitive food delivery sector. The post-money valuation reached nearly $500 million, up from around $289 million in 2020 per prior data. HungryPanda has carved a niche as a market leader by focusing on Asian cuisine ambassadorship and sustainable gig work, with investors highlighting its double-digit growth and strong positioning for the next phase of scaling globally.

By December 2021, it operated in over 60 cities across 10 countries including the UK, US, Australia, Canada, France, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, and South Korea.

The funds were earmarked to grow market share in Asian food delivery, explore new business opportunities, expand offerings, pursue strategic acquisitions, and invest in technology, strategy, and talent. Shortly after, in January 2022, HungryPanda acquired Australian platform EASI and New Zealand's BUY@HOME to strengthen local operations and restaurant coverage, positioning it as the Asian food delivery leader in those markets. CEO Eric Liu highlighted the company's rapid scalability, launching in new cities within two weeks, and its Deloitte 2021 UK Technology Fast 50 recognition as the sole food delivery platform listed.

The company provides a specialized online ordering system tailored to Chinese diaspora populations with language and payment options designed to overcome cultural barriers. HungryPanda had grown 30-fold in three years with a 500-person team operating across six countries including the UK, Australia, Canada, France, and New Zealand, expanding to 47 cities by late 2020. In November 2020, HungryPanda raised $70 million in its Series C funding round led by Swiss investment firm Kinnevik, which contributed $35 million of the total. Other investors included previous backers 83North and Felix Capital, along with new participants Piton Capital, VNV Global (which invested $12.9 million), and Burda Principal Investment. According to the company, it was already profitable in its earliest UK markets and in New York City, with strong unit economics supporting expansion. The capital was earmarked for accelerating growth in the US, Canada, and Australia, investing in technology and talent with plans to double the team to 1,000 employees, and exploring new business opportunities. The company did not disclose its post-money valuation at the time of the funding announcement.
Feb 2020Series B83North (lead); Felix Capital (lead)$20M-HungryPanda is a specialist online food delivery platform targeting Asian restaurants and overseas Chinese communities, offering a tailored experience with Chinese-language support, Alipay and WeChat Pay integration, and focus on Chinese cuisine and groceries. Founded in 2017 in the UK, it operated in 31 cities across the UK, North America, Australia, New Zealand, and Europe with over 300 employees by early 2020. The company raised $20 million in February 2020 led by 83North and Felix Capital to accelerate team growth, technology innovation, and global expansion, particularly in the US market across 18 cities that year. At the time of the funding, HungryPanda aimed to achieve an **annual run rate of $200 million** by May 2020 and was already profitable in the UK and New York City, where its order volume was nearly four times that of its closest competitor. The platform differentiated itself in the competitive food delivery sector against players like UberEats, Deliveroo, and FoodPanda by localizing for Chinese users and leveraging community density in Chinatowns and student areas for better unit economics. Investors 83North and Felix Capital brought expertise from portfolios including Just Eat, Wolt, Deliveroo, and Frichti. This $20M round preceded a $70M Series C in November 2020 led by Kinnevik with participation from the same investors plus others, during which HungryPanda reported 30x growth in gross merchandise value over three years, surpassing its $200M run rate target amid COVID-19 demand surge, and expanded to 47 cities while remaining profitable in early markets.
