About Us
Scotch is building the next-generation operating system for beverage alcohol retailers — combining POS, payments, back office, and e-commerce into a platform purpose-built for liquor stores.
We’re modernizing one of the oldest industries in the world: the $1.6T beverage alcohol market. Our platform helps retailers run more efficiently through streamlined payments, inventory management, reporting, and day-to-day operations.
Our founders came from Skupos (acquired 2023) and Drizly (acquired by Uber). We've raised $28M from VMG Partners, First Round, Lerer Hippeau, Watchfire, and Toba Capital, with angels including the founder of Drizly and early Toast executives. Forbes has recognized Scotch as a leader in liquor retail tech. We closed a $20M Series A in 2026 off 500%+ YoY growth and $1B+ in processed payment volume.

- Deliver analysis of financial results, quantitative and qualitative, ensuring variances to plan and business drivers are understood and highlighted

Scotch Insights
What We Do
From neighborhood stores to destination warehouses, liquor retailers of all sizes have been held back by manual tasks, slow systems and limited business intelligence. So we decided to build something better — smarter software that saves time and improves margins so independent retailers could focus on their customers, not manually managing inventory.
Why Work With Us
Company building is a team sport, and we aim to to win the World Championships. We’re looking for heat-seeking missiles that aspire to be the absolute best in their field, to constantly raise the bar amongst their peers, and to win. We’re a low-ego, high-outcome focused crew with a strict no asshole policy.
