After that it was time to leave the auspices of the early-stage market and move to, of all things, a public company. GrubHub reported earnings this week. It went poorly. Alex wanted to riff over the company’s earnings report and what it could mean for startups that are competing with GrubHub, a leader in the food delivery space that DoorDash and Postmates would prefer to lead themselves.

    GrubHub is in a far better position than smaller (dying) companies like Waitr. GH is still in profit territory. We really don’t know what DD and the others will look like until their planned IPO. Slim to moderate growth for GH would be desirable rather than insane growth. Stabilization.
