Launching http://trydrop.com out of stealth

Drop started as a side project around a simple idea make it easy for anyone to sell food.

1. Cook + post
2. Customers purchase through a link
3. Get paid in stablecoins + customers pick up their food

But there’s a bigger shift happening underneath it. Food has gotten expensive. Restaurant prices are up, the Uber Eats / DoorDash tax adds another layer, and the cost of living keeps going up.

At the same time people are buying incredible food directly from home cooks and small sellers they discover on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook Marketplace and WhatsApp.

The problem is these sellers are running their businesses through DMs, spreadsheets, Venmo/Zelle and a patchwork of tools designed for traditional restaurants.

They need something much lighter. I think there’s an opportunity to build the operating system for the next generation of mom and pop food businesses, starting with payments, pre orders and CRM, and eventually becoming their neobank.

We’ve have ~30 sellers use Drop while in stealth. It’s now getting to the point where I want to take it much more seriously.

I’m looking for a pre idea startup of exceptional people who have experience in payments + restaurants/food and want to take this over and apply to Alliance
