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 founding team includes leaders from Skupos (acquired in 2023), Drizly (acquired by Uber), and engineering leaders from top technology companies. We’ve raised $28M from VMG, First Round, Lerer Hippeau, Watchfire, and Toba Capital, alongside angels including the founder of Drizly and early executives from Toast. Forbes has recognized Scotch as a leader in the liquor retail technology space.
