When Max Hellerstein and Cyrus Summerlin were still teenagers, they launched Push for Pizza. They didn't just raise a seed round, they turned it into a spectacle: a branded Lamborghini, free pizza, and tens of thousands of downloads.

When Max Hellerstein and Cyrus Summerlin were still teenagers, they launched a food delivery app called Push for Pizza. They didn't just raise a seed round... they turned it into a spectacle.

They leased a Lamborghini, vinyl wrapped it with the Push for Pizza branding, and hit college campuses across the country. The offer? Download the app, get a free slice.

Simple. Brilliant. Viral.

Tens of thousands of students downloaded the app. Campuses buzzed. Local media picked it up. And the brand went from unknown to getting acquired by Eaze.

It wasn't about the car. It was about creating a moment, one students would talk about, post about, and remember.

## Why it works

- Gives people a story to tell (and post about)
- Creates spectacle and status without buying ads
- Builds trust by delivering immediate value (pizza!)
- Ties the brand to a very specific vibe: bold, fun, memorable

This play is ideal for DTC apps, early-stage consumer startups, and product-led growth with viral potential.
