  Led · Series B · Feb 2026

  Matilda runs “Matilda” stations where families can pick up freshly prepared, home-style dinners ordered entirely through LINE. Since launching about five years ago, the service has grown to more than 40 stations and now dishes out roughly 4,500 meals per day, supported by a rotating menu of over 800 items that turn dinner into a family-centric experience.

Newly raised capital will fund construction of a third central kitchen and strengthen hiring to maintain consistent quality as the network scales.
