Sun Hung Kai & Co and Venrex Investment Management backed the pre-Series A round to support the household goods delivery platform.

"There is no reason for dishwasher tablets to be delivered in a refrigerated van. It is neither convenient, cost effective nor environmentally sustainable. With the rise of Deliveroo, recipe boxes and on-demand groceries, food can be delivered with increasing convenience, but bulky household items still lag behind, sold predominantly through the same channels they have been for 70 years – the supermarkets."
