Signature Market was first founded as Signature Snack in 2014 and its goal is to make healthier food products more accessible and affordable. It was established by Edwin Wang and John Cheng.

By selling all natural and organic products direct-to-consumer on its website, the company said it has the flexibility to bypass costlier distribution channels thus allowing them to sell the best product quality and freshness.

For now, Malaysia remains their focus and the company has plans to be in other countries in Southeast Asia noticing the similar strong demand for healthy food products in the region.

“We decided to back Signature Market as they’re using technology to create a new way for people to access healthy snacks; helping Malaysians eat more nutritiously and lead healthier lifestyle,” said Rachel Lau, Managing Partner of RHL Ventures.
