Storytime! How Shipt App started?
\n<\/strong><\/span>
\nIn 2014, a college dropout, Bill Smith, thought of an idea, he thought since a lot of things are sold and purchased by online platforms like Amazon<\/a>. Why can\u2019t groceries be bought, sold, and delivered via an online app?<\/span><\/p>\n\n

\"Grocery<\/p>\n\n

The idea was derivative, but the approach was indeed innovative. Because unlike electronics groceries can\u2019t be stored in huge warehouses for a long period of time. Bill Smith<\/strong> figured things out.<\/span><\/p>\n

Instead of renting warehouses and managing logistics by himself, he connected with local grocery shop owners. He developed a grocery mobile app<\/a>, available on Android and iOS, and used it as a marketplace for groceries.\u00a0We know this app as Shipt.<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Founders<\/strong><\/span><\/th>\nFounded on<\/strong><\/span><\/th>\nHeadquarter<\/strong><\/span><\/th>\nTotal Funding raised ($)<\/strong><\/span><\/th>\nValuation<\/strong><\/span><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n

This simple <\/span>food & grocery delivery startup idea<\/a> caught the attention of business giants in the United States. As a result, 3 years later, in 2017, <\/span>Target<\/a> Corporation acquired Shipt for a whopping $550 million. And a year later in 2018, its valuation got almost doubled to over $1 billion.<\/span><\/p>\n

Today, while operating, it is competing against big players like Instacart, Walmart, and Amazon.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

“Shipt is a prime example that not always do we need innovative ideas, sometimes somewhat derivative ideas couples with innovative approach can make billions.”<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
