10-minute delivery service for college students
We built Duffl to deliver snacks and convenience items to college students within 10 minutes. We stock the right high-demand, high-margin products based on data and deliver them using electric scooters and a workforce of students on campus. Our platform connects students who need snacks fast with other students working as delivery couriers.
We currently live in Santa Monica, CA, and plan to keep the company based there after YC.
Santa Monica gives us access to a strong tech talent pool and proximity to key partners for scaling our delivery operations. It's also where we've built our team and infrastructure so far.
