In this episode of Founder Firesides, YC's Aaron Epstein sat down with Brandon Hill, the co-founder and CEO of Vori, a modern operating system for grocery stores. They discussed renting a refrigerated truck to save a botched dairy order, building AI agents that automatically update items on the shelf when costs change, and why Vori's $22 million Series B is a bet on the future of independent retail.
