“Gopuff has built a resilient business that has outlasted every competitor in the instant-commerce space – a testament to their unique model, focus on unit economics, and commitment to relentless innovation,” said Todd Boehly, Chairman of Eldridge Industries. “We are proud of our long-standing partnership with Yakir, Rafael, and the Gopuff team and look forward to supporting them as they continue to set the standard for customer satisfaction in the category.”

“This milestone reflects the incredible hard work and execution of our team,” said Yakir Gola, co-CEO and co-founder of Gopuff. “The team has built meaningful momentum across the business. We’re back on offense, and we’re just getting started. The future is bright as we keep raising the bar for our customers.”

We believe the company has real momentum, driven by disciplined execution and strong leadership, and we’re proud to continue supporting Gopuff in this next phase of growth.”

Gopuff Appoints Matt McBrady as Chief Financial Officer

Today, Gopuff also announced the appointment of Matt McBrady, Ph.D., as Chief Financial Officer. A seasoned operator and investor, McBrady has held leadership roles at top financial institutions, advised U.S. economic policymakers, and helped take multiple companies public.

He has served as Chief Investment Officer of BlackRock’s Multi-Strategy Hedge Fund Program and in senior leadership roles at Bain Capital and Silver Creek Capital Management, as well as at Axon and aQuantive, where he led both businesses through IPOs and into periods of rapid growth and market leadership. McBrady has also served on President Clinton’s Council of Economic Advisers. Following his time in Washington, McBrady became an award-winning finance professor at the Wharton and Darden Schools of Business.

“I’ve admired what Yakir and Rafael have built since Gopuff’s earliest days, and I’m thrilled to join the team at such a pivotal moment,” said McBrady. “Their vertically integrated model provides real economic advantages — but it’s incredibly difficult to execute, which is why so many competitors have exited. Their relentless focus on innovation and the customer is what makes Gopuff a true pioneer, and new funding will enable us to bring the Gopuff magic to even more customers around the world.”
