Founder Profile
PopCom Founder Dawn Dickson on Combining Machine Learning with Vending Machines
When the pandemic was at its peak, many consumers fled from traditional brick-and-mortar stores and made their purchases online. The trend seems to be partially reversing now, though, with e-commerce accounting for 14.3% of retail sales, down from 17% in 2021.
Fortunately, brands can enjoy the best of both worlds with PopCom’s smart vending machines, PopShops and PopBoxes (for refrigerated products). PopShops and PopBoxes give multiple brands the opportunity to sell in brick-and-mortar locations on a rotating basis, and the machines anonymously collect useful customer data for sales optimization. We reached out to founder and CEO Dawn Dickson to hear about the evolution of her team over the years and her experience as an underrepresented founder.
