“We’re looking to raise US$100,000 by the end of 2018. We have sought investment from Cradle Fund, and are waiting for the result. We aim to raise from VCs and angels first, and then will look for equity crowdfunding in the next stage,” its Founder Chenyi Ang told e27.
“As for geographical expansion, we are starting with Malaysia and then will expand into regional markets like Singapore and Taiwan. Expansion into China, India and Japan is also in the offing. In these markets, we will collaborate with local healthcare players,” he added.
Go-Mad.AI was founded by Ang, a tech enthusiast and expert in AI and blockchain, and Wenwen Chua (Co-founder). Go-Mad.AI is an on-demand nutritionist platform, which also pr0vides an Artificial Intelligence-based meal-tracking app. The AI feature enables users to identify the food composition by uploading the photo of the food items into the app.
