Episode 101: What does the Doordash IPO Mean for Dashers?

Doordash just launched their IPO with shares selling about double what was anticipated. 

What does this mean for those of us who deliver for Doordash? How will this impact us?

We talk about:

• What does it mean to go public?
• How did the IPO go for Doordash?
• Why it's a miracle Doordash even got to an IPO
• Does this mean Doordash can be profitable?
• Why Doordash may struggle more than previous tech companies that went public before any signs of profitability
• How the economy and recovery from the pandemic probably mean more to Dashers than the IPO
