A Platform By Students For Students
As freshmen at Drexel University, Rafael Ilishayev and Yakir Gola realized that Yakir — the only friend of theirs with a car — was spending a lot of time running errands for their friends. They knew there had to be a better way. A few months later, Rafael and Yakir launched Gopuff and were making deliveries in a Plymouth Voyager around campus during their sophomore year. Now, ten years later, Gopuff operates hundreds of micro-fulfillment centers and serves customers in over 1,000 cities.
The launch of Student FAM is the latest consumer benefit from Gopuff, coming on the heels of the new FAM membership benefits announcement. The launch also follows the expansion of Gopuff’s Ads platform in the UK and the announcement of new Ads capabilities. Gopuff will never stop innovating for its customers, and Student FAM sets the stage for even more exciting initiatives to come.
