Fizz Social App Partners with Gopuff for Instant College Grocery Delivery Services

College social app Fizz announces a strategic partnership with Gopuff, enabling students to order groceries directly within the Fizz app. This new feature allows for quick delivery of items ranging from late-night snacks to weekly groceries in as little as 15 minutes, according to Fizz.

Launched in 2021, Fizz is currently active at over 620 campuses across the United States, with more than 27 million posts shared since its inception. The social platform facilitates anonymous connections among university students and also offers a local marketplace for buying and selling items.

Fizz co-founder and CEO Teddy Solomon expressed that the expansion into grocery delivery was a long-awaited move, as users had requested this feature for some time. He explained that students were already utilizing Fizz for buying and selling through the Fizz Marketplace and coordinating group food deliveries, making it a logical next step to incorporate grocery delivery within the app.

Solomon also highlighted that partnering with Gopuff was a natural choice due to shared roots among college students and a popular customer base among the younger demographic. “Gopuff was founded by college students and has long maintained a strong presence on campuses, so the synergy with Fizz was clear,” Solomon said. “We share the same Gen Z DNA, and once conversations began, it was obvious this partnership would be a great fit.”

While students could previously order groceries through Gopuff directly, the new integration offers enhanced convenience. The Fizz Store also features pre-selected collections of essential groceries to simplify shopping for necessities. Examples include Gym, Study Fuel, and Rush bags.

Despite the addition of a marketplace and grocery delivery, Fizz maintains its identity as a social app. Solomon stated, “As platforms like Instagram and TikTok have shifted their focus towards entertainment (with only 7% of content consumed on Instagram being from friends), Fizz has remained the most powerful community for shared experiences and identities.” He added that features like the Fizz Store serve as an extension of the core experience while upholding Fizz’s mission to be the social app for the 99% of life that is not on Instagram or TikTok.

Looking ahead, Solomon revealed plans for Fizz to continue expanding to new campuses and markets, along with enhancing its social features while prioritizing authenticity and community. In the past month, Fizz has reported a fourfold increase in daily active users, launched on 250+ new campuses, and set a new one-day registration record 12 days consecutively. The startup has raised $41 million in funding to date.
