DoorDash
DoorDash, Inc. is a logistics platform that connects merchants, consumers, and delivery drivers, known as dashers, primarily in the United States and Europe. Founded in 2013 and headquartered in San Francisco, DoorDash originally started as PaloAltoDelivery.com before rebranding in 2015. The company provides an online marketplace that allows consumers to order food, groceries, and other products from local and national businesses for pickup or delivery. It offers various services to merchants, including customer acquisition, analytics, payment processing, and customer support, helping them effectively meet demand. Additionally, DoorDash operates DoorDash Drive, a white-label logistics service designed to facilitate deliveries for businesses outside the food sector. With its acquisition of Wolt in 2022, DoorDash expanded its reach into the European market, further enhancing its role in building last-mile delivery infrastructure for local communities.
Pricing Strategy is one of the most powerful levers that retailers have at their disposal to create growth, yet it is underleveraged. Most retail pricing teams settle for making decisions in spreadsheets, shooting in the dark, and working backward from a cost-plus margin target, leaving a LOT of money on the table. Our founders experienced these problems at scale when they built pricing tech at Uber that made Uber a billion dollars in profit a year. They realized that retail was lacking the same quality and sophistication of price tooling. So, they built Luca. Luca is an AI-powered co-pilot for retail operators, which constantly identifies revenue and profit headroom, makes recommendations for price adjustments and saves countless work hours along the way. Luca is backed by Y Combinator, Menlo Ventures, and others.

Scotty Labs is a spin-out of SRI International. They are a driving company. They believe that the true opportunities for the future of autonomy lie in unlocking the ability for human and machine to work together to solve the most difficult problems driverless vehicles face. The path of progress for the autonomous vehicle is blocked by the idea that complete vehicle autonomy is the goal. They believe safe tele-operation subsumes level 5 autonomy, so instead of removing humans from the driving experience entirely, we’re keeping the humans in, virtually.
