1, Zhang Hungry, the main founder Zhang, and several of his partners,,, and Cao are all from Shanghai Jiaotong University. In April 2009, they took a fancy to the food and beverage take-away industry and prepared to develop an online ordering system to make the food and beverage industry gradually informationize.
2. As it happens, Ye Feng from the School of Software of Jiaotong University is also optimistic about this "breakthrough" in entrepreneurship. As a result, the "Jiao Tong Gang" of the "Hungry" online ordering system was initially formed.
At the beginning of our business, we also discussed the name of the company. In the end, the mantra of "hungry" among students finally won, and it became the resounding name of the company with its kindness.
4. The initial start-up funds were patched together by several people, even the tuition fees were spared. In order to devote himself wholeheartedly, Zhang voluntarily gave up the opportunity to go to the Hong Kong Polytechnic University for further study and chose to drop out of school to follow.
5. After graduating from 20 10, Ye Feng gave up the opportunity to enter Microsoft and started a business with everyone. The initial venture is happy and difficult. Everyone fights side by side and enjoys the passion of youth, but there are also puzzles when they hit a wall and lack funds.
6. At the beginning, the "Hungry" team contracted the take-away business of a restaurant to get familiar with the "market". As the leader of the team, Zhang has only slept four to five hours a day for almost a few months, and he often delivers takeout in person, and the storm has never stopped.
