Buyk operates a real-time retail service promising delivery of groceries and essential items to customers' doors in 15 minutes or faster, with no minimum spend and no delivery fee. The company uses hyperlocal dark stores stocked with roughly 2,000–3,000 SKUs and proprietary technology to optimize assortment, picking strategies, and delivery routes. Buyk is led by founders Rodion Shishkov and Slava Bocharov, who previously co-founded and ran Samokat, a large European ultrafast delivery operator. The service launched in Manhattan on September 14 and Buyk plans to expand across all New York City boroughs by the end of 2021 and to the largest U.S. metro areas in 2022. The company emphasizes tailoring assortments to hyperlocal demand, featuring local partners, and intends to develop a private-label offering. Buyk raised $46 million in a recent funding round from CM Ventures, Fort Ross, Citius and other investors ahead of its New York launch.
