Connecting People With the Best in Their Cities

DoorDash is the leading local ecommerce company in the United States that enables people to purchase food and other goods from nearby restaurants, grocery stores, and convenience stores to have them delivered to their door.

Sands Capital first partnered with DoorDash through its Series G round in 2019. The business was preparing for a public offering, so our experience as large-scale, long-term public investors positioned us to help navigate the IPO process and support the business post-IPO. Several members of Sands Capital helped DoorDash with public readiness, including messaging, investor introductions, meeting preparation, quarterly calls, and drafting materials.
