The Noo aims to redefine the delivery space by facilitating the delivery of anything, anywhere, anytime from a single application. It argues that between February-April 2020, online food delivery weekly sales skyrocketed by 840% amidst a boom in e-commerce sales. The Noo points out that with every innovation in the name of convenience, people seem to expect more. It intends to deliver just that through its community platform allowing anyone to request anything at a price set by the requestor and finally, facilitate earning by simply owning a smartphone. The company also aspires to create a space where the local high street can compete with today's delivery giants. It will use the investment to enhance and launch its app, fund marketing campaigns, hire key personnel, and make The Noo visible across more cities.
