GoPuff was founded by Rafael Ilishayev and Yakir Gola in the year 2013. They met during a class in Drexel University in Philadelphia while studying business and became friends thereafter.

They had to often run to the local convenience store at the last minute for some late night plans and that was when Ilishayev identified the scope for an online business idea that could bridge this gap. They started working on the idea in their junior year and hired a Ukrainian developer to build the first version of their app.

They also made a deal with the local distributors and managed to negotiate a 30-day credit terms with them, without any credit history to show. In the first two years, they expanded to two more cities (Washington and Chicago) using their profits from the business. Their first round of funding was raised in December 2015.

GoPuff earns through multiple sources which includes product markup, delivery fees, subscription/membership fees and advertising on their platform.

GoPuff hasn’t made any of their revenue figures go public so it’s hard to say if they’re profitable as of yet. If sources are to be believed, they don’t have any profit mentioned in their books as the entire profit amount is reinvested to grow the business further.

GoPuff raised $1 billion in their latest round of series H funding that included Guggenheim Investments, Hedosophia and SoftBank Vision Fund 1. Many other prominent investment firms and personalities have participated in their early rounds of funding including the American singer, actress and producer Selena Gomez.

As per Crunchbase, GoPuff has raised 8 rounds of funding so far. The total funding amount raised by GoPuff across eight rounds is $3.4 billion with the latest one (Series H) being a massive input of $1 billion at a valuation of $15 billion.

4. Load Balancer supported for horizontal scaling
5. All customer data on the server is encrypted using 128 bit AES encryption
6. Tele call between patient and healthcare professional is via secure WebRTC running on a secure WebRTC gateway which in-turn is running on an on-premises ( self hosted or cloud hosted ) server infrastructure
