TaskRabbit Corporate Office

TaskRabbit, originally founded as RunMyErrand, was founded in Boston, Massachusetts in 2008. The company operates an online general task service, where customers with a need are matched with persons who can fulfil the job. These tasks are quite varied and can include everything from furniture assembly to handyman services, grocery shopping to dog walking.

The company decided to change names and move headquarters across the country to San Francisco, California in 2010. An app for iPhone was introduced in 2011 and in 2013, the company launched a new tool called “TaskRabbit for Business” whereby businesses could hire temporary workers from the TaskRabbit pool.

TaskRabbit has grown considerably over the past 8 years. In 2014, the company received 4,000 applications for “taskers”. In 2015, that number grew to 15,000. Many taskers hold bachelors degrees and have made “tasking” a full time job.

DoorDash Corporate Office

DoorDash was founded in 2013 by Stanford University students Evan Moore, Andy Fang, Stanley Tang and Tony Xu. The company is an on-demand food delivery service.

This company is similar to other recent delivery service companies aimed at offering delivery from restaurants that do not provide it themselves. Originally founded in Palo Alto, the company recently moved into larger headquarters in San Francisco in late 2015.

DoorDash has been rumored to have raised hundreds of millions, possibly as much as 1 billion, from businesses such as Sequoia Capital and SV Angel. Originally offering service to only the greater San Francisco area, in less than 3 years time this company has already expanded to Los Angeles, Chicago, and Boston.

In-N-Out filed a lawsuit in late 2015 against DoorDash claiming unfair competition and trademark infringement.

The company announced in March 2018 that it was venturing into the grocery delivery service by partnering with Walmart in the Atlanta, Georgia, area.

Wingstop has partnered with DoorDash and says that the company will not be dealing with other delivery services.

DoorDash is also talking with Postmates about a possible merger to fend off competitors GrubHub and Uber.

In September 2022, WingStop eliminated its exclusive partnership with DoorDash and added UberEats to its available list of delivery services.

In August 2023, DoorDash announced that it would start using AI to take customer orders.

DoorDash maintains a corporate office in San Francisco, California.

The company uses GPS and mobile phone apps to take orders and schedule drivers for delivery.

The company has used outside funding for start-up purposes and most recently received $80 million in Series D funding through Tiger Global Management, Spark Capital, and Slow Ventures.

As of early 2015, the company announced that it had more than 2.5 million successful deliveries and more than 13,000 couriers.

In July 2018, the company stated that it was adding more than 100 new markets to their delivery area.

The company filed for an IPO to go public in early 2019 and raised more than $700 million in early venture capital.
