(Anthony Lance and Matt Davies)
After studying Chinese language and culture for many years, PhatRice.com co-founder Anthony Lance got his Masters in Chinese Studies. Armed with a fluency in Mandarin, Anthony helped an American company grow their business in the Greater China region, which was acquired by a Fortune 100 company after four years of exponential growth.
In 2013, his colleague and co-founder Matt Davies, who is a branding expert, began thinking of building a Hong Kong startup that could positively impact the social and environmental challenges faced by local communities. Since Anthony and Matt are both well-versed in the sales and marketing space, they saw an opportunity to help social initiatives take their development projects to the next level.
