Company Description
We started Hideout because we wanted to reinvent the idea of a delivery meal. We believe delivery dining should be its own unique experience, as enjoyable as dining out or sharing a home-cooked meal.

Management Team / Advisory Board Bios
Brian Leung, Co-founder & CEO
Cofounder and CEO of Blue Shell Games with 1M daily actives and $11M annual rev, acquired in 2015. Previously Lead PM on FunSpace, which was the largest app on Facebook at the time.
I was opening a dumpling restaurant as a side project with the goal of bringing amazing Chinese food into central locations in SF and LA, where it was missing. We saw the potential in delivery, but saw it was lacking. Instead of focusing on ONLY Chinese food ONLY in SF and LA, we decided to bring our favorite foods directly to everyone's door.
