When I'd order delivery, Caviar was always my favorite. Highest quality of everything. This was a great watch. Shawn and our journalist [didn't catch her name] were super likable!
okay so this was actually good for delivery drivers too? did you make more money with them than you would make working as independent on your own for the businesses directly? can you share more insight on this part of the story? because upon watching this video it leaves me with the impression "oh so all they did was start to profit on the delivery fees that were earned by independent deliveries" So how does the math works in that case? The couriers end up making more based on the sheer difference of amount of sales on its own? Okay I can imagine that, but there's a flaw to that argument, to me that sounds that each individual delivery is being LESS profitable than it was before the company took over that management. You might be earning a bit more, but you're having to work MORE for that bit extra money in the end. While the company itself just sits there with their platform profiting. In the end, it leaves a weird impression of parasiting.
Tsao's story is a testament to the opportunities that can arise when individuals are open to exploring different paths and seizing unique entrepreneurial opportunities. 🚀
Yes, personal loans are the best. Their APRs are between 5,99% to 35,99%. Personal loans for bad credit are more expensive, but I can't pick wishful thinking over logical reasoning, as a matter of fact half of the house loan I took out was used to buy shares and options trading which still pays me
I always find it inspiring that founders like him have the vision, build the team and then execute. Without caring what investors are saying, it's refreshing to hear that Shawn did not quit after hearing big investors tell the team it would not work. Building something bigger than ourselves can sometimes be a bit daunting but it's all worth it once we start seeing our plans take speed.
We had a huge success in 2021 and 2022 with our ecommerce snack and candy business online now 14 years online every downside or economic challenge presents an amazing opportunity even with food
Unfortunately The majority of individuals seem unaware of and careless when it comes to investing, despite the fact that it should be the best thing a person can do for himself. My gains from stocks and cryptocurrencies are still having a significant impact on my fortune. So I have no inclination to rely entirely on my pay or to wait for the market to go up.
Great story I wish you had deep dived into what was so unique about the Cavier app that Square paid a 100m for. Also what made their app stand out from the competitors?
I’m assuming he & his cofounders had to payout the initial investors after selling their company for $100 million. Meaning the cofounders might have gotten like $10 million each after taxes.
u didnt need to sell tho u couldve kept growing so thats ur problem not rlly a reality check more like "hey guys dont make the same mistake as me and have fomo"
Every crash /collapse/inflation or a recession offers an equal market opportunity if you are well prepared and knowledgeable. I've seen people accumulate up to $800,000 during crises and even pull it off with ease in a bad economy. Without a doubt, the bubble or crash has made someone extremely wealthy.
I agree that there are strategies that could be put in place for solid gains regardless of economy or market condition, but such executions are usually carried out by investment experts or advisors with experience
A lot of folks downplay the role of advisors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for licensed advisors and came across someone of utmost qualifications. he's helped grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to $850k.
"Wonghuatrade" is the advisor that oversees my portfolio. He's been able to gain some reputation and online recognition with over 3 decades in service, so it shouldn't be a hassle to find basic info.
He appears to be a true authority in him profession. I looked him up online and found his website, which I browsed and went through to learn more about him credentials, academic background, and career. he owes me a fiduciary duty to act in my best interests. I set up an appointment to use his services.
I’m not sure but I can definitely believe it. Just a few months ago I placed a large order for a fast food restaurant that is only 1 and a half miles away from using Door Dash and the fees were $38 (delivery, service, and I think something called “local” fees…whatever that means). This is not including tax and tip for the driver. Needless to say we canceled the order. I live in Missouri by the way. That was so ridiculous.

Help Me with how this works. It they sold Caviar to Square for $100 million, but were not involved when Door Dash bought Caviar from Square for $410 million, then he helped start a company that went to $410 million after he was NOT involved.😎
I would so love to see entreprenuers who FAIL and not just this survivorship bias and heroworshipping success stories. Enetprenuership should NOT be recommended to most.

That's my pledge bro! So proud of you Shawn, Jason, and the entire Caviar team! I remember when this started from the frat house =)

Caviar was amazing. I used to courier for them, in NYC. Great pay. Small trips. Amazing restaurants in the city. Door Dash killed the whole vibe.

more than you would make independently for restaurants working the same amount of hours?
cuz doordash wanna finessed and get mORE money rather than care for their driver delivers.
The headline is misleading. They sold the company to Square for US$100 million and Square sold it to Doordash for US$410million
not it isnt. He is literally the one who built a company that turned into $400 million
The headline says he built a company, not sold
Great video. Humble and hardworking!!! So deserved.
Keep with it Founder Effect team! Great videos

Is it a good idea to use a personal loan to consolidate and pay off credit card debt or to invest?
Yes, personal loans are the best. Their APRs are between 5,99% to 35,99%. Personal loans for bad credit are more expensive, but I can't pick wishful thinking over logical reasoning, as a matter of fact half of the house loan I took out was used to buy shares and options trading which still pays me
Oo wow!
I don’t even know what Options are, how does it work?
Do you mean Options trading, I keep hearing about it a lot and seeing ads videos on UA-cam here but I never knew it was profitable
I don’t handle it myself, rather I leave that to a pro, maybe you could need his help

"His mom still believed that an MBA was going to save him, but she didn’t know he was hiring a lot of MBA students." 😂❤
He sold it to square for $90 million. So he built a $90 million company. Not a $400 million dollar.
What did you build?
@@mc0000 What does that have to do with anything?
It was later bought by DoorDash for 410 million, so thereby built a 400M app 😒
@@Official-D.W. You do not count it after he had sold it.

Must have been a fantastic journey. I hope I take one similar soon

That’s a retirement fund
My first acquisition was abt $200K.
Just wanted to share a reality check for what entrepreneurship more often looks like irl.
u didnt need to sell tho u couldve kept growing so thats ur problem not rlly a reality check more like "hey guys dont make the same mistake as me and have fomo"
They cared so much they sold it to the first buyer who quadrupled their money in less than 5 years by reselling it......
That’s cool. I’ve always wanted a group of friends to invest in a company with. Gonna start looking today😂
College friends is a good place
Where you at?
Amazing story
inspirational
I was in Kuwait in 2012 and restaurants including fast food were being delivered by independent contractors.
how it was different from Uber Eat? What was the USP ?
Beautiful story!
Inspiring story but comment about Tesla is irrelevant. 8:08
I do!
He built the company. This is his legacy. This cannot be taken away from him just because it got sold several times. The title is correct.
Well done!
Wish I could do this too
How much profit has he made? We need to start measuring folks that way.
He should be an actor. So handsome.
Exactly
Wow, amazing successful story. Thx 4 sharing on Utube.
Are these comments below bought? They sound incredibly fake and paid for.
Inspiring story of grit against all odds, David and Goliath.
And what happen to Sean Sal the founder in November 2023, is he still around ?
That was awesome
Very inspiring story! Great job!

Caviar was the best food delivery app for drivers and customers until door dash ruined it.
Wow it's true if we have passion we can get through hardest days and not give up
How is this different from Doordash?
how the heck did they have the creator of gmail and those famous twins in their network for investment? was it part of the Uni's network ?
Amazing! But its kinda weird that he build a $400 Million dollar food company that had more than $400 million invested in it.
lol
When life gives you failing startups, make a sandwich... or in Caviar's case, an entire food delivery empire!
One of very few success stories where alcohol helped make a lifechanging choice.
I’m curious as how their company was so successful when it wasn’t much different than any of the other companies
They said it in the video. They targeted restaurants with great quality food and so indirectly people started talking and ordering from Caviar.
I think they came out before the other companies
How much did they make each ?
Their company must have become a threat to others that other business shark had to buy theirs for a hundred million dollars.
never heard of them
Inspiring! Go Bears!
9:10 This answer has nothing to do with her question lmao
How much loses it is having each month?
$20-30 In delivery fees 🤔
Is this not an exaggeration?

WOw I love this
Go Shawn!
I remember using caviar on the web in 2015 pre app days working in the app space at a Wework in nyc. Fun days
He should ask can he have stocks and shares in the company to so money will still be coming in from that company
Great and inspiring! 👏
beautiful story.... 100 million in his bank account for a simple app

Hows this app different than DoorDash??
it's not at all, there are so many apps like it, and before it.

His mom is not too bright for telling him to go get an mba. Thats dumb.

So, Caviar became DoorDash. Let me tell you at $5 dollar orders DoorDash has collapsed. This is an wnd of an era.
