Rafael Ilishayev | Co-Founder of goPuff

Rafael grew up in Brooklyn, but went to school at Drexel
University. During his time in college, he lived with a roommate.
Him and his roommate were sick and tired of Grubhub, it wasn't on
demand. Their final frustration came from ordering from one of
Philadelphia's favorite cookie joints called Insomnia Cookies.
They order cookies from the popular cookie chain, and received
their order two hours later. They looked at themselves thinking,
"It has to be an easier solution than this." Six months later,
they had a business, an app, and over one hundred items in a
warehouse. GoPuff is currently in five cities, they are currently
expanding their business into Denver, Colorado and are hopeful to
expand to a a new city every two months! Fully Commit to What
You're Doing "There is no doing it part time! If you truly
believe in something, just quit." Hire People Who Are Smarter
Than You "You don't know everything. If you hire someone and they
are doing the job right, get out of their way!" Lead By Example
"You're the one or at least one of the ones that created this
vision, lead by example by showing people what to do next. I am
here, I am on the ground working and you should be too..."

passion on bettering the lives of millennials and helping them
execute their ideas into profitable businesses. It’s never been
easier to start a business, but how do you make it successful?
Constantly millennials are claiming to be entrepreneurs, but may
not truly know what it takes to either become one or last long
enough to succeed at being one. By listening/viewing The Blind
Entrepreneur, we are determined to help those who are “blind” see
the true struggles of business, successes, and the grind it took
these millennials to succeed. #LINKS Email:
