Otta's take

Sam Franklin headshot

Sam Franklin

CEO of Otta

Rapid deliveries, especially for essential goods, are high in demand. This is especially the case for college students of today who have grown up in an era of technology. Existing delivery providers are unable to deliver essential goods in a short time frame and often charge expensive fees.

Using data to track high-demand products, Duffl aims to provide consumer goods for college students with an average delivery time of under ten minutes. Offering flat delivery fees and built for students, by students.

Duffl eventually aims to bring the company to every student campus across America, with locations already in USC, UCSB, and Berkeley.

  • Be a student: We care more about growing than about being right. We have an insatiable curiosity and frequently seek out feedback
  • Write on the bag: We spend time personally connecting with our community of customers and are always authentically ourselves
  • Bleed orange: We're a family. Day or night, we deliver. Rain or shine, we deliver. And when if we fall, we bleed orange
