Pop Meals CEO Jonathan aims to empower a team of talented chefs in Malaysia through technology. Initially starting out as Dahmakan, which focused on being a healthy gourmet delivery brand for six years, the company rebranded itself as Pop Meals in 2020.

The company uses algorithms to source ingredients at better prices, then guides its chefs to cook in efficient ways to provide the highest value to customers. In 2018, the company crossed the one million delivered orders mark. It was also the first Malaysian startup to take part in Silicon Valley seed accelerator Y Combinator.

More recently, the company raised $18 million of Series B venture funding from Rakuten Capital, Woowa Brothers and Korea Investment Partners on February 27, 2020.
