Vemanti Group Makes Investment In Chopp


NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Aug. 08, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vemanti Group, Inc. (OTC PINK:VMNT) (the “Company”), a technology-driven holding company, today announced that it has made an investment in Chopp, Inc. (“Chopp”),  a Delaware-registered online logistics company that currently operates as a same-day e-grocery delivery service. Customers select groceries from various retailers through an iOS/Android app or web application and the order is delivered by a team of personal shoppers and drivers. The investment by the Company is made in the form of a convertible note along with Beenext (https://beenext.com) and 500 Startups Vietnam (www.500startups.com.vn)

Chopp (https://chopp.vn/) has established itself as the leading on-demand e-grocery platform in Vietnam since its launch in December 2015. From 2016 to 2017, the company experienced 99% growth in unique customers, 153% growth in orders, and 221% growth in revenue. The company targets the middle and affluent class (MAC) which has an estimated market size of $9B-$14B per year today. Going forward, the company plans to expand into F&B and evolve its platform into a broader last-mile supply chain management solution with features such as dispatching optimization and supply & demand prediction with added support for IoT and AI functions.

“Our investment in Chopp was made based on factors beyond grocery delivery. We see their transportation and CRM platform as part of the digital revolution that’s shaping up B2B logistics, fulfillment, and freight management which will be an essential component for any straight-to-consumer business. Strategically, this fits nicely with our vision of a decentralized ecosystem model,” stated Tan Tran, CEO of Vemanti Group.
