Drinks-on-demand tech platform Drinkly is to target 150 locations across the UK after reaching its crowdfunding target of £250,000 within seven weeks.
The Your Round equity offer will remain open for applications on Seedrs until midnight on 7 February 2020.
The online marketplace connects independent high-street retailers with consumers, delivering chilled beers, wines and spirits within one hour. Drinkly plans to operate in 150 locations by December 2020 and has secured more than 40 retail partners across central Scotland, London and the north of England.
Edinburgh-based Drinkly has delivered over 16,000 orders to customers in the capital, Glasgow and London, adding over £110,000 in revenue this year. It has exclusive partnerships with global drinks brands that have included Heineken.
Its backers include BrewDog’s James Watt and Stuart Middleton, CCO of Skyscanner.
John Robertson, founder and CEO of Drinkly, said: “With this investment now in place, we’re able to push ahead with our ambitions to grow our retailer base, build out our tech and put in place a solid integrated marketing strategy to maximise our visibility among our core audiences.
"We’ve set the course and we’re on track to make 2020 the best year yet. We’d like to thank everyone who has bought into Your Round and placed their confidence in Drinkly. Cheers.”
