goPuff

Series H in 2021
goPuff is a Philadelphia-based startup that delivers products like over-the-counter medicine, baby food, and alcohol. goPuff was founded in 2013 by Yakir Gola and Rafael Ilishayev, two Drexel University students with a minivan and a vision to make everyday life a little easier. What started as a snack delivery service quickly grew into a national essential, and food delivery service, and later, in some markets, alcohol delivery. Today, goPuff is the fastest growing delivery service, operating 24/7 in most major markets. goPuff makes sure its customers have everything they need: from quick meals, over-the-counter meds, snacks and drinks to electronics, office supplies, baby and pet essentials, and in some markets, beer, wine, and spirits. Across America, goPuff is known for satiating late-night cravings for Ben and Jerry’s ice cream, Doritos, Red Bull, and, in select markets, White Claw and rescuing those in need of diapers, condoms, and cleaning products. goPuff allows users the joy of browsing the shelves without the hassle of going to the store. It takes seconds to navigate the app and minutes for goPuff’s Driver-Partners to deliver the customer’s needs and wants. goPuff’s strategically located facilities cut out the middleman allowing for a flat fee of $1.95. goPuff’s success has allowed the company to support important causes. In March 2020 goPuff committed to $1 million in orders to hospital workers fighting COVID-19. In May 2020 the company wrote a check for $1 million to match donations to Boys and Girls Clubs. In June 2020 goPuff committed to supporting underrepresented founders in Philadelphia.
