Gopuff

Gopuff is an on-demand solution for immediate everyday needs, fulfilling customer orders of cleaning and home products, beauty, baby items and pet products, food and drinks, quick meals, and in some markets, alcohol delivery—in just minutes. With micro-fulfillment centers in every market it serves, the company delivers thousands of products quickly for a flat delivery charge. Gopuff is open 24/7 in many markets and late night everywhere else to bring customers what they need, when they need it most.

Founded in 2013 by co-founders and co-CEOs Rafael Ilishayev and Yakir Gola, Gopuff’s original concept was mocked up on the back of the founders’ college business class notes after they met as students at Drexel University—and they began delivering late-night snacks out of the back of their Plymouth Voyager soon after. Years later, their business idea and name stuck. In November 2018, Accel partnered with Gopuff and has continued to partner with them as Gopuff expands their footprint in the United States and the United Kingdom.
