DoorDash enables delivery in areas where it was not available. Our mission is to empower small business owners to offer delivery in an affordable and convenient way. We are achieving this mission first by enabling restaurant food delivery. DoorDash was founded in February 2013 by four Stanford students with experiences from Facebook, Square, Vevo, and eBay.
