Lanch bags $27M for a social media-skewed take on fast food

Quick Summary:

E-commerce startups built around food continue to gobble up funding as investors look for sticky consumer concepts that can scale without breaking the bank.

In an interview, Nono Konopka — the CEO who co-founded the company with Dominic Kluge, Jonas Meynert and Kevin Kock — said the plan is to use the funding to continue expanding in Germany before moving to more markets.

On top of that there is the social-media aspect, working on partnerships with influencers and users to help promote their products, and using these attention-based platforms to understand what people are interested in eating — at a far cheaper cost than is involved in running physical trials, or big marketing campaigns.
