Want Someone To Bring You A Beer? Get That And Anything Else From Zaarly

Zaarly was little more than an idea when it won a LA Startup Weekend competition three weeks ago. But there's been so much buzz about the startup that they've now gathered thousands of beta requests. And they've closed a $1 million funding round from top tier investors. Those investors include Ashton Kutcher , Felicis Ventures , Paul Buchheit , Bill Lee , Naval Ravikant and Lightbank (the venture fund created by Groupon's founders). Not bad for a startup that's still fiddling around with an internal prototype. Why all the excitement? Because people want stuff and they want it right now.
