Company
BloomThat
Uber for Flowers.
We built an on-demand flower delivery service that lets people send curated, beautifully designed bouquets and small gifts quickly and easily through our app or website. Customers in select cities can get flowers delivered the same day, and nationwide orders arrive next day. We handle sourcing, arranging, and delivery logistics to make sending flowers as simple as ordering a ride.
We live in San Francisco, CA, and after YC the company would stay based here.
San Francisco is where our team lives and where we have built relationships with local florists and delivery partners. It also gives us access to a large early user base for on-demand flower delivery, making it the obvious base for BloomThat.
