DoorDash, Inc., founded in 2013 by Tony Xu, Stanley Tang, Andy Fang, and Evan Moore, is the dominant American online food and convenience delivery platform, holding a 56% market share in the U.S. food delivery sector. The company rapidly expanded from its origins as PaloAltoDelivery.com, going public on December 9, 2020, and joining the Fortune 500 list in 2024 at rank #443. DoorDash has aggressively pursued global expansion, notably acquiring Finland’s Wolt in November 2021 for €7bn and planning to acquire UK-based Deliveroo in 2025 for $3.88 billion, extending its reach across 45 countries. Despite its significant growth, DoorDash has faced legal scrutiny over issues like worker misclassification and tip transparency, leading it to offer drivers an option for an hourly minimum wage starting June 2023. More recently, its March 2025 partnership with Klarna for a "Buy Now, Pay Later" service sparked considerable public criticism regarding increasing household debt.
