Qdama
钱大妈
Qdama (钱大妈) is a community fresh-food grocery chain in China, known for its "no overnight meat" pledge to deliver fresher produce. Gaorong Ventures led its Series C and was an early backer, with the firm describing it as having grown into the largest community fresh-food chain in South China by late 2018 . In December 2019 Qdama closed a nearly RMB 1 billion Series D round led by Cornerstone Capital, with follow-on from Taikang Life, Qicheng Capital and others; Gaorong's Rui Han joined the company's board at that time . The chain sits in the consumer/retail sector alongside other Gaorong portfolio companies such as Dingdong Maicai and Yatsen Holding .
