How we got started

In 2015, Speakeasy Co. humbly began as a cocktail subscription box, a distant concept from what exists today.

Back then, we wanted to introduce subscribers to the most crucial ingredient in a cocktail, the spirits, all while making a fun drink. We naturally gravitated towards craft spirit brands, who educated us on the confines of the post-Prohibition 3-tier system, the existing regulatory climate, and the $250B alcohol industry still running off paper invoices. The alcohol industry was ripe for innovation.

Over the years we transformed Speakeasy into a 3-tier compliant e-commerce platform managing websites, facilitating payments, and creating fulfillment centers, allowing brands to finally own their data, customer relationships, and growth. Today we partner with nearly 300 brands and have raised over $9M to continue to scale our platform.
