The duo behind Covent Garden s 10 Cases and Parsons are crowdfunding to rollout their on-demand wine delivery app Drop across the UK.
How is the raise going?
Will Palmer: Right now we ve raised £440,583 from 464 investors off an initial target of £300,000.
The crowdfund has now been extended to 18 February. Demand for wine delivery continues to surge with each lockdown. We’ve seen our customer base double and sales grow by 145% during the pandemic.
How did the app come about?
Ian Campbell: Four or five years ago we were looking at a second site for 10 Cases, in Soho. It was actually the site that Kricket ended up taking (on Denman Street). It has a massive basement. We didn’t like the thought of sending customers down there so we started thinking about alternative uses. We had a few different ideas but eventually settled on a delivery service. We didn’t get the site but we now have a premises for Drop close to 10 Cases
