SINGAPORE,April 7,2021/PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/--
Flash Coffee, a tech-enabled coffee chain backed by Rocket Internet announced
that it has raised US$15 million in Series A funding in a round led by White
Star Capital, with participation from prominent investors including Delivery
Hero-backed DX Ventures, Global Founders Capital, and Conny & Co. The Series A
round sets the total capital raised by Flash Coffee to US$20 million.
Flash Coffee launched in January 2020, and now operates 50 locations across
Singapore, Thailand, and Indonesia. Flash Coffee has enjoyed strong traction in
its markets despite the pandemic; with the majority of its stores already
achieving profitability and demonstrating the success of its business model.
CEO David Brunier and COO & CFO Sebastian Hannecker co-founded the company to
make premium coffee accessible to Asia's rising middle class. Flash Coffee's
disruptive grab-and-go business model allows for significant cost savings to be
passed on to customers.
"Our dream is to have a Flash Coffee every 500 metres in all major Asian
cities," says Brunier. "Strong investor support for our Series A round enables
us to harness untapped potential in the region and replicate our success in
seven new markets this year: Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, Malaysia,
the Philippines, and Vietnam. We will also build a regional HQ in Singapore and
expand our regional tech hub in Jakarta to 50 people to support our vision of
fully leveraging technology to improve customer experience, proactively drive
growth and significantly increase operational efficiency."
The company aims to digitise today's offline-dominated coffee industry with a
newly launched consumer app that boasts a streamlined pick-up feature,
sophisticated loyalty programme, personalised promotions and interactive
challenges. Its dedicated barista app improves the operational efficiency of
its stores and enables performance-based incentives for its baristas, ensuring
an unparalleled customer experience.
