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!
