▶ 18:00 Arne Englander Uh, so our model was a little bit different to a DoorDash or an Instacart, so we were what's called a vertically integrated model, which means we had our own warehouses, we held the stock ourselves, and this was relatively new in Europe.

▶ 19:50 Garry Tan Like I remember, uh, working with the Instacart team 2 times in the scene
▶ 22:21 Garry Tan Um, I believe she built the news feed for Facebook and worked on fundamental pieces of monetization, both for Facebook and for Instacart.

▶ 4:06 Aadit Palicha He's like, hey, there's a company in, in the US called Instacart that does something similar to what you guys are doing.
▶ 5:08 Aadit Palicha Uh, and we, it was a pickup and drop service, similar to what Instacart is in the U S that, you know, prototype probably would have taken like 72 hours to build.
▶ 20:17 Aadit Palicha And I think that you don't really find a lot of that, you know, candidly in, in India so far, which is why obviously YC was as valuable as it was because, you know, people were just like, you know, brutally honest with us that, hey man,…

▶ 15:22 unnamed speaker One of my favorite examples of a company that did unscalable things to get off the ground is Instacart. 8 times in the scene

▶ 4:32 Aaron Epstein There's Instacart. 2 times in the scene
▶ 14:54 Aaron Epstein In the example of companies like DoorDash and Instacart, they've reached economies of scale where they're so large now that they've been able to drive their costs further down at this scale

▶ 10:16 Jared Friedman And roughly the story of Checkr is delivery services like DoorDash and Instacart and Uber started to take off.

▶ 9:32 unnamed speaker Um, like, you imagine like Instacarturing, Amazon buying Whole Foods, like that probably changed up the business.

▶ 13:39 Harj Taggar The only good reason why I see example is Instacart, like Instacart from like 3 times in the scene

▶ 11:52 Dalton Caldwell And again, maybe in the example of something like Instacart, people had tried Instacart before and it didn't work, but the founders of Instacart knew that and they intentionally designed it to be better. 3 times in the scene

▶ 12:52 Elad Gil So, for example, Webvan, um, raised over a billion dollars and failed, and now we have Instacart, which is sort of a reinvention of that concept.

▶ 17:46 Jared Friedman We have everything from like established successful companies like Instacart, DoorDash, and PlanGrid.

▶ 15:59 Jessica Livingston If you already have kids, start the startup, but know what you're up against, and try to, like, outsource things that aren't directly related to your kids, like, I mean, I use Instacart for groceries.
