🚀 Reflecting on Skipcart: A Chapter Closes, A New Journey Begins 🚀 In 2018, Skipcart embarked on a journey from a single Walmart store pilot during a harsh winter in Toledo, Ohio, to launching markets in 35 states within our first year of business. This resilience set our course for exponential growth, further accelerated in 2020 by the COVID-19 pandemic, which saw us adapt to a surge in food delivery demand, making 30-minute deliveries the new norm. The acquisition of Skipcart by 7-Eleven in 2021, thanks to the shared vision with partners Raghu Mahadevan and John Quincy Powell, was a monumental milestone. It offered me a peek into the corporate world of a Fortune 50 company, which is vastly different from life within a startup. The journey of a tech founder is filled with hurdles, yet the dedication of our team ensured that Skipcart was among the few on-demand delivery startups to successfully reach such a pinnacle. I am immensely grateful to our CEO, Ben Jones, for his leadership, and to my co-founder, Blake Mistich, for his unwavering support through all of our trials. To the entire Skipcart team, your hard work and dedication have been the bedrock of our achievements. As this chapter with Skipcart comes to a close, I am filled with gratitude and excitement for the future. The experiences and lessons learned have prepared me to embark on a new journey, aiming to impact the world on an even larger scale. Here's to building anew, with the same zeal and passion that defined our success at Skipcart. Thank you, Team Skipcart, for an unforgettable adventure. #Skipcart #NewBeginnings #Innovation #Gratitude #FutureReady
