DoorDash · DoorDash, Inc.
DoorDash is a San Francisco public company that operates on-demand local delivery, primarily food, and owns Wolt and Deliveroo.
DoorDash is an American local-delivery company founded in January 2013 in Palo Alto by Tony Xu, Andy Fang, Stanley Tang, and Evan Moore.1 Three of the four founders are ethnic Chinese, which is the inclusion basis.1 The company listed on Nasdaq as DASH in December 2020 and later acquired Wolt and Deliveroo.1
History
The service began as PaloAltoDelivery.com and entered Y Combinator in 2013.1 DoorDash became the largest U.S. food-delivery platform by consumer spending around 2019 and went public in December 2020, raising about US$3.37 billion.1 It acquired Finland's Wolt in 2021 and the U.K.'s Deliveroo in 2025, extending operations far beyond the DoorDash brand.1
Labor and legal record
DoorDash has faced lawsuits over worker classification, tips, data breaches, and other consumer issues.1 An authoritative profile should not omit that record. Market-share figures in secondary sources move quickly and should be dated when reused.
