Wang Xing might bring his $30 billion food services app to the U.S.

Under the helm of CEO Wang Xing, Chinese food-delivery app Meituan-Dianping became the world’s fourth-most valuable startup this year.

A recent $4 billion funding round led by Tencent valued the company at $30 billion — double what it was worth two years ago when group-buying site Meituan.com merged with review site Dianping.

The company delivers goods and services of all stripes — Bloomberg called it a “mashup of Groupon, Yelp, Foodpanda and Uber Eats”— but for all its value and offerings, it’s little known outside the U.S.

But that might not last long. Meituan-Dianping is considering going public on U.S. stock markets, according to Reuters. It would be the most valuable Chinese company to list in the U.S. since Alibaba in 2014.
