Mission
Our mission is to build a leading food tech ecosystem in Hong Kong.
Vision
Our ESG-investment thesis supports innovations that can create a positive impact on the environment for our next generation. Equally important, we are here to promote diversity amongst our cohort and future portfolio companies.
Background & Objective
To achieve this goal, we want to inspire and support young entrepreneurs to pursue their dreams in the field of food science and technology. We aim at creating a continuous stream of commercially-viable products and help these entrepreneurs bring their solutions to market.
Our core strength is start-up mentoring with a particular strong focus in two areas: 1) fund raising; and 2) commercialization. With a strong network of investors and successful entrepreneurs, we can provide the most hand—on advice and guidance to founders looking to raise more capital to fund the future growth of their companies. In addition, DayDayCook has a unique and well-established sales and partnership network in mainland across China, we can offer the most practical solutions and resources to companies within this accelerator program.
Throughout the program, we will work with our program mentees to validate the products or services including the proposition, business model, go-to-market strategy, as well as how to set and achieve financial target.
