Malaysia-based logistics delivery startup RunningMan has recently become the second company to be fully funded on pitchIN Equity’s crowdfunding platform. Funding deal was led by Nexea Angels, BizANgel Network and WTF Accelerator.

The last mile logistics startup successfully raised its target amount of RM175,000 (US$43,538) moments after it went live on Monday, August 22, 2015.

RunningMan is a marketplace platform offering instant delivery (typically within an hour) that users can use to reach out to nearby shops and restaurants. RunningMan riders are stationed at strategic points within its coverage area.

RunningMan was picked best startup at the ASEAN Startup Campus Accelerator bootcamp held in conjunction with the 1AES summit last November.
