Our take
Alcohol represents 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 by collating the service of those suppliers in one place.
For such a straightforward idea, its remarkable that Provi is so unique, and this has has allowed it to capture an impressive amount of business. In its first five years, 10% of all American retailers that serve alcohol signed on as customers, suggesting it was answering a pressing demand.
Identified as an ‘Emerging Unicorn’ by Crunchbase in 2022, and with no direct competitors, Provi is leading the charge in upending a market desperately in need of digitization. It has now surpassed $5 billion in gross merchandise volume that has flowed through its platform, and we expect it to continue this success in the coming years.
