""Gopuff was founded by college students and has long had a strong presence on campuses, so the synergy with Fizz was clear," Solomon said. "We share the same Gen Z DNA, and once conversations began, it was obvious this partnership would be a great fit. By combining Fizz's community and extreme distribution with Gopuff's ability to deliver essentials instantly, we are making student life easier.""
"Founded in 2021, Fizz is available at more than 620 campuses across the United States, with over 27 million posts shared to date. The social platform allows students to connect anonymously with others at their university. Fizz also features a marketplace where users can buy and sell items locally. Fizz co-founder and CEO Teddy Solomon told TechCrunch in an email that the startup's expansion into grocery delivery was a long time coming, as users had been asking for the feature for some time."
Fizz partnered with Gopuff to add grocery delivery directly inside the app, enabling students to order items from late-night snacks to weekly groceries in as fast as 15 minutes. The platform is active on more than 620 U.S. campuses and has recorded over 27 million posts, supporting anonymous student connections and a local marketplace for buying and selling. The new integration builds on existing marketplace use and group ordering behaviors and introduces a Fizz Store with curated collections like Gym, Study Fuel, and Rush bags to simplify shopping for essentials.
