Speakeasy Co. is an e-commerce and logistics platform that allows alcohol brands to sell direct-to-consumer from their own website. Speakeasy’s unique platform offers brands the opportunity to own their growth and relationship to customers for the first time, all while remaining three-tier compliant. Speakeasy handles the technology, warehousing, and order fulfillment so companies can increase reach, control, and scalability. It also gives brands access to state-of-the-art e-commerce tools, capabilities, and data and analytics. Founded in 2015, Speakeasy began as a subscription box service for spirits; the platform has now grown to represent brands ranging from small craft distilleries to large household names. It has been featured in Forbes, Bloomberg Businessweek, and ABC News Radio.
