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.

What impact GrubHub may have on the highly-valued on-demand companies isn’t clear yet, but will be pretty damn interesting to see when it does land.

    If doordash or postmates have growth rates significantly higher than grub hub, it likely indicates that their unit economics are not very healthy.

    Buying market share is easy if you’re investors are willing to subsidize the customers

    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.

Tesla’s layoffs and executive departures could spell out financial trouble for the EV manufacturer after a long run of success. After laying off at least 10 percent of its staff, the company is shifting its focus in the face of declining demand of EVs and declining margins after a spree of cost cutting. And this comes after an already tough year for Tesla, as its market cap has dropped 35 percent, the Cybertruck’s release has been met with a muted response, and its rivals in China are picking up market share. TechCrunch’s Alex Wilhelm explores what Tesla’s investors are hopeful for in the future.

In order to get drivers to convert from gas-powered cars to electric, there needs to be reliable charging infrastructure. Today on Found, Dom and Becca are joined by Louis Tremblay, the CEO and founder of FLO () , a company that manufactures electric vehicle charging stations and has been creating charging infrastructure in the US and Canada for the last 15 years. Tremblay also talked about how he intentionally built this company to be a rewarding and fun place to work and what advice he has for new founders trying to do the same. 

In this conversation they cover:

• The components that go into creating superchargers for public use and why these isn’t just one kind of EV plug
• The process of working with cities to design charging stations that reflect the character of the city
• The importance of developing the hardware alongside the software to create the best customer experience possible
