In this episode of Disruptors, John Stackhouse interviews Tony Xu, CEO of DoorDash, where he shares the company’s bold ambitions for the coming years.

Thinking back over the past year, were there changes in how you got your food? Delivery platforms including Instacart, Uber Eats and DoorDash saw a huge surge in demand, and U.S. meal-delivery sales in January were up 164% year-over-year. DoorDash has been an especially big winner from the trend, and now boasts a 50% share of the U.S. market.

Like its peers, DoorDash has enabled many businesses to connect with home-bound consumers in new ways. But its mission, according to CEO Tony Xu, goes beyond getting tasty meals to more doors. Xu joined our Disruptors podcast for a special one-on-one conversation in which he outlined the company’s bold ambitions.
