In August 2013, Tony Xu, CEO and co-founder at DoorDash, presented to a room full of investors at YC S13 Demo Day.

Shark Tank would be like: ‘...it’s a no for me.’

[shannons]

Wow. This demo is perfect. Traction is ridiculous. Well done DD team!

[AmericazGotTalentYT]

insane that this was in 2013. YC got an insane deal out of this. What a beast

[toekneema]

incredibly articulate and clear presentation

[dejrand]

The key takeaway I got from this is while yes they had big competition, they found a way to do things differently and much better, they provided a service in delivery while the others just did menu sharing. Thats why they survived if they tried to do the same thing they would've failed, now they all caught on and all deliver but it's too late they've already ate up the market. When you start a company in a competitive field, find a unique angle on the problem that no one is adressing. Otherwise you will feel the crush of intense competition and higher budgets.

They made 1.9 billion dollars so far this year! So inspiring

At 0:47 he describes existing courier services and why they're not ideal, and now in 2020, he's leading a company doing precisely this thing as part of their strategy

Fedex is now like: We are the Doordash of package delivery

[larryho]

yeah! most dashers are not even making the min. pay with benefits that Fedex seasonal helpers receive.

[stockstrategyexplained]

$1.5 million in sales (which is a lot!) to $1.9 billion is crazy. Props to them!

[yiwang]

Great presentation! This is a demo, it is for vc investors, telling amazing story is the goal.

[roselpadilla]

[kylecolley]

[dfv]

10 years later, does this company still exist in 2023?

[SteveM-iscq]

[paypalservices]

Short the stock, thank me later.
No one wants to be charged double for delivery

[hugh]

Can someone explain how 31% week-on-week growth can look linear?
