ABOUT THE FOUNDER
Aksel Kirakosyan is the founder of Corner Cup, a Los Angeles–based venture focused on building the next generation of mobile, street-level beverage retail.
With a background in logistics, operations, and team leadership, he has spent years studying how physical systems scale in dense urban environments. Prior to launching the company, he managed high-volume operations and led teams in fast-paced industries, developing a strong focus on efficiency, unit economics, and real-world execution.
The business was born from a simple observation: the highest-demand retail locations already exist on busy city corners — but traditional beverage companies are not structured to activate them efficiently. He set out to design a system that combines compact mobile hardware, independent operators, and smart restocking logistics into a scalable urban network.
