About Gopuff
Gopuff delivers all of your daily needs right to your door – or wherever you are! We store about 4,000 products in each location, so when you order, your stuff comes directly from us to you. We don’t charge surge pricing because we’re not a courier service, and because we’re delivering directly instead of picking it up from the store, we deliver fast.
In 2013, co-founders Rafael Ilishayev and Yakir Gola were sophomores at Drexel University in Philly when they realized Yakir, the only friend with a car, was running far too many errands for their friends. So they spent all night drafting mock-ups of the app on the back of their class notes. Three months later, they were delivering those same convenience items from the back of their Plymouth Voyager around campus. Fast forward to today, Gopuff has hundreds of locations and 10,000 employees, delivering to customers in over 1,000 cities in the U.S. and Europe.
