TinyOwl, a location-based food ordering platform, has raised $3 million led by Sequoia and Nexus Venture Partners. The company will use these funds to deepen its presence in Mumbai and expand into other metros.

Founded in March 2014 by five IIT Bombay alumni, the TinyOwl app is available on Android and iOS platforms and allows users to order food from restaurants and have it delivered at their doorstep.

“We believe that the food ordering experience will make a quantum leap in the era of smartphones, and look forward to partnering with the TinyOwl team in their quest to make this a reality,” said Gautam Mago, Principal at Sequoia Capital India Advisors.

“The food ordering industry needs technological and operational solutions to help make the discovery, order taking and delivery of food more efficient. There is no better team in the country than TinyOwl to address this,” said Suvir Sujan, Co-founder & MD, Nexus Venture Partners.
