In a city built on great food, workers were still eating whatever was quickest. When Will Shu moved to London, he felt that disconnect firsthand and built Deliveroo to bridge it, transforming a local gap into a network spanning 10 markets. On this episode of HD in HD, Will shares how his belief in hard work and delayed reward helped him build Deliveroo into a global logistics leader, acquired by DoorDash for $3.9B. We also get into: • how they learned to manage riders, restaurants, and regulations • how Deliveroo stood apart from competitors like Uber • what Will believes DoorDash and Deliveroo can learn from each other post-acquisition ABOUT US: We’re proudly sponsored by Brex - a brand I co-founded, now supporting over 30,000 businesses like Anthropic, DoorDash, and Scale AI, helping them make every dollar count.
