Founder and CEO, Line Man Wongnai
For building a food delivery unicorn
Yod Chinsupakul’s food delivery company Line Man Wongnai was born in 2021, when his restaurant aggregator Wongnai merged with the food delivery division of Line, Japan’s leading messaging app. With the aim of becoming Thailand’s leading e-commerce operator, the company raised $265 million in 2022 from investors including Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund GIC, BRV Capital Management and Taiwan Mobile—a deal that valued it as a unicorn. The platform features more than a million restaurants in 77 Thai provinces.
Offering on-demand delivery, advertising, financial services and more, Line Man Wongnai ranks among Thailand's top three unicorns and is poised for an imminent IPO.
