Welcome to Episode 43 of The VentureFizz Podcast, the flagship podcast of your most-trusted source for startup and tech jobs, news, and insights! For this episode of our podcast, I interviewed Justin Robinson, Co-Founder & SVP of New Business at Drizly. Shortly after graduating from Boston College, Justin started Drizly with his two co-founders: Nick and Corey Rellas. They saw an opportunity to build a company in a relatively untapped area of eCommerce—that being the home delivery of beer, wine, and liquor. Today, Drizly is available across 101 markets and the company has raised $35M in venture funding. In this episode of our podcast, we cover: -The aha moment behind starting Drizly -The early days of the company, which were spent working in a liquor store to learn the ins and outs of the industry -How they able to initially attract consumers and build a company in a highly regulated industry -Why they are poised to win over Amazon -Advice for first-time entrepreneurs raising capital -Plus, a lot more!
