In Shark Tank Vietnam season 3 aired on October 9th, 2019, Do Phan Hoang Suong – CEO of DalatFoodie made a strong impression on Sharks and TV audiences about his startup story.
Stemming from the sympathy with the common concerns of pregnant women about the safety and health of their children since they were still in the womb, DalatFoodie aims to expand the industry of producing Organic food and raising health and environmental awareness as well as sustainable agricultural development.
The amount of 460 million VND of profit after 4 years of establishment through the specific calculation of the founder with a good financial background let Shark Viet himself humorously call the startup project the ancestor of an economist due to constant losses in agricultural business. After the negotiation process, the CEO of DalatFoodie successfully persuaded Shark Nguyen Thanh Viet to invest 5 billion VND for a 20% of share.
Shark Nguyen Thanh Viet determined that agriculture was a sustainable industry and agreed to delay the due diligence time for DalatFoodie to serve customers and prepare documents due to the increase in the number of orders. After 6 months of due diligence, both parties officially signed investment cooperation on June 8th as the last round of appraisal took place at the end of May.

This collaboration between DalatFoodie and Shark Nguyen Thanh Viet and Intracom has brought a new opportunity for DalatFoodie to expand its market, bringing organic products at reasonable prices to more customers.
Shark Nguyen Thanh Viet highly appreciated both the DalatFoodie team for the meticulousness activeness in work and DalatFoodie’s products for the diversity, freshness, and the combos divided by customer segments come with attractive preferentiality.
Intracom would please be an ecosystem that could support and direct the business to bring clean and fresh products from the farm to every Vietnamese family.
Intracom also determined that clean agriculture will dominate in the future due to the bad impact of diseases and environmental issues on human health. Intracom would cooperate with technology companies to help DalatFoodie trace the origin of foods and vegetables, to create absolute faith from customers.
