Interesting article on last mile delivery. This is one of those areas where the high level theory is super exciting, but low-level delivery network design and ruthless execution are *everything*. This led to a recent generation of failed attempts to build last mile delivery as startups. I don't hold out much hope that Shein and Temu will change that balance, only delay more failures. Is this an impossible area to build a startup in? No. But it's a problem where domain expertise has to meet capital, and a team has to be brilliant from a network design standpoint, combined with day-to-day operations chops. Those teams are super rare. https://lnkd.in/dgQjYZ_2

DoorDash co-founder Stanley Tang talks about the early days of validating the idea for DoorDash. Transcript: "But what we can do instead is: why don't we run an experiment? And this is where the Palo Alto delivery comes in. So, the experiment was basically what we wanted to validate was: is there actually customer demand for something like this? Well, maybe it turns out there's no delivery service because, actually, besides a couple of offices wanting macaroons, maybe it turns out people don't want delivery. And that's why no one's, no one built it, and that seems to be a kind of a pretty logical kind of premise. So, we kind of wanted to validate, okay, like, well, do people actually, do customers actually want delivery? And once we can validate, okay, the customers want delivery, then we can go back to the local businesses and kind of figure something out. And that part, honestly, we haven't really thought at the time. It was really, okay, let's try to validate this first part first.” Key Takeaways: 1. Even billion-dollar companies once needed to validate their ideas; no startup can skip this step. 2. Run simple experiments to validate your idea. Your experiments will involve doing things that don’t scale. Watch the full story at Inceptionstories.com #startups #inceptionstories #doordash
