Send, a six-month old start-up with the ambitious aim of becoming an entirely online inner-city supermarket chain, has raised $3.1 million in a seed funding round as it looks to launch in ideal lockdown conditions.

With potential customers stuck at home due to the COVID-19 lockdowns, Send founder Rob Adams is betting that consumers will be eager to further embrace the convenience of online shopping. It promises to get grocery items into the hands of inner-city Australians within 15 minutes of placing an order through a mobile app.
