Vancouver’s tech scene just got a tasty upgrade! 🚀 Fantuan CEO Yaofei Feng, a former Amazon software engineer, revealed how he built North America’s largest Asian food delivery platform during a fireside chat at Web Summit this week.
The Chinese-born entrepreneur told CGTN’s Dan Williams he spotted a gap in the market while craving authentic Asian meals in Seattle: "I thought, why can’t we have the same convenience as mainstream apps for our cultural foods?" 🥢 That lightbulb moment led to Fantuan’s 2014 launch – now serving everything from boba tea to hotpot across 60+ cities.
With 1.5 million active users (and counting 👀), Feng’s platform bridges culinary traditions and tech innovation. "We’re not just delivering food," he said. "We’re connecting communities." 🌐 Perfect timing, as Asian cuisine dominates TikTok food trends!
Psst… hungry techies: Fantuan’s expanding to Europe next. 🥡 #StartupGoals
