$56B valuation at IPO?
Man... gtfoh lmao.
Man... gtfoh lmao.
I understand the value proposition & the narrative they are selling.
I think Tony Xu is an excellent CEO who took incredible risks that ended up paying off in a very big way.
But $56B?
Come on, man. That's crazy.

ftr I worked at $GRUB for a few years, so I understand how $DASH operates better than most.
$DASH won. Period. End of story.
But this business? This last-mile food delivery logistics business?
It has always SUCKED.
And without corporate catering/ordering?
It's GARBAGE.

If you're betting on $DASH implementing drone delivery to lower labor costs, then I have to wonder won't the majority of the value accrue to the companies manufacturing the drones?
Couldn't the large restaurants just... cut out $DASH and manage their own fleet of drones?

Ask anyone in the industry how the food delivery business looks with:
* No corporate catering/group ordering because of WFA.
* No enterprise relationships because they go DTC w/ their own drones.
Then $DASH is reduced to SMB delivery. Good luck with that!

If you're bullish on food delivery, then I'd suggest taking a look at $DPZ $WING etc.
You want to look for businesses with:
* Vertical integration
* Franchise model
* The potential for very large orders (parties, events etc)

To recap:
$CMG, $38B Market Cap
$DPZ, $15B
$WING, $4B
...
$DASH, $59B






Remind me what does $DASH do exactly?

What I wish regulators would focus on with these "independent contractor" biz model shenanigans is franchising rather than employment.
$UBER $DASH etc never claimed to be employing their drivers as W2's.
But they also never gave them the opportunity to scale their services.

$UBER & $DASH wanted the preferable economics of a franchise.
But they also didn't want to empower their drivers to become business owners.
They want to have their cake and eat it too.

As a driver/delivery person, the only real "opportunity" with these companies is indentured servitude.
High fixed costs with no way to scale up revenue.
After taxes, it amounts to the equivalent of a sub-minimum wage job.
