How Deliveroo Got Acquired by Doordash for $3.9B | Will Shu
In a city built on great food, workers were still eating whatever was quickest.
When Will Shu moved to London, he felt that disconnect firsthand and built Deliveroo to bridge it, transforming a local gap into a network spanning 10 markets.
On this episode of HD in HD, Will shares how his belief in hard work and delayed reward helped him build Deliveroo into a global logistics leader, acquired by DoorDash for $3.9B.
We also get into:
• how they learned to manage riders, restaurants, and regulations
• how Deliveroo stood apart from competitors like Uber
• what Will believes DoorDash and Deliveroo can learn from each other post-acquisition
