Delivery.com begins expanding overseas, first to Hong Kong

Delivery.com is launching outside the U.S. for the first time with a new site in Hong Kong that provides online food ordering and delivery to corporate consumers. The company is backed with an undisclosed amount of venture capital from its lead investor Cantor Ventures, the VC arm of Cantor Fitzgerald. Delivery.com said in a statement that it launched in Hong Kong first because it is “one of the world’s most densely populated places with a cultural and business environment that mirrors New York City, where delivery.com is headquartered.” It added, “Long working hours, the growing popularity of team lunches, and an increasingly tech-savvy consumer support the need for a central online marketplace where hungry consumers with limited free time can order high-quality delivery, particularly during lunchtime’s peak hours.”
