Our take
70% of Americans drink Alcohol. It’s one of the largest markets in the world, and Provi sets out to conquer it with its centralized platform for alcohol retailers.
Its a simple concept - save bars and restaurants hours of work sending paper or phone invoices to multiple suppliers (most use between 8 and 20 different suppliers) by collating the service of those suppliers all in one place. For such a straightforward idea, its remarkable that Provi is so unique, but it has managed to corner a market.
With 10% of all American retailers that serve alcohol signing on as customers in Provi’s first five years, it’s set to blow up soon, and has been identified as an ‘Emerging Unicorn’ by Crunchbase. With no direct competitors, Provi is leading the charge in upending a market desperately in need of digitization.
