Gopuff, a consumer goods delivery company, has scheduled the second class of entrepreneurs that will be part of its “Put Me On” small business accelerator program.
Ten brands from across the US will take part in the Put Me On program designed to help raise awareness of their respective brands through Gopuff’s platform, while providing them with impactful tools and resources to help support and grow their businesses.
First-time entrepreneurs themselves, Gopuff co-founders and co-CEOs Yakir Gola and Rafael Ilishayev are passionate about supporting other entrepreneurs and, through Put Me On, are harnessing Gopuff’s platform to increase visibility and connect brands to resources and new customers to further grow their businesses.
“Supporting entrepreneurs and small businesses is a fundamental pillar of what we do at Gopuff because Rafael and I know firsthand the challenges of building a business from the ground up,” said Yakir Gola, co-founder and co-CEO of Gopuff. “The Put Me On program is a way for us to leverage our business model and resources to help others succeed, particularly entrepreneurs from underrepresented communities facing even greater obstacles. Running with the incredible success we had with the inaugural class, we’re so proud to announce this new group of entrepreneurs from diverse backgrounds who are ready to take their brands to the next level.”
