Quick Fire Intro
Nick Rellas - @nrellas
What is Drizly? What Are We Going to Talk About?
Shop local liquor stores online for in-store pickup or delivery (in as little as one-hour)
What is Drizly?
• Drizly does not deliver. All retail deliveries are facilitated by the liquor store
• Drizly does not process credit cards. All funds are handled and settled by licensed retailers
• Drizly does not select the products to sell or set the prices they sell at.
• Drizly does not decide whether to accept or deny an order.
How It Looks Drizly is a marketplace.
Like AirBnb, Uber, and Kayak, connecting consumers with places and people they want to transact with.
The Footprint
$34.75mm Raised

Figuring It Out
Bottom line: Brainstorms and board rooms only get you so far, and incubators and accelerators will never replace getting your hands dirty.

What Have We Learned?
eCommerce is here (in alcohol). It’s here because consumers want it.
Search for the network effects. Unlock value.
If we can figure it out in alcohol, you can figure it out in your sandbox.
