Postmates

San Francisco, CA, United States Food & Beverage Acquired

Postmates was an on-demand food and goods delivery platform founded in 2011. The company pioneered 'delivery-as-a-service' and operated across the United States, allowing customers to order food, groceries, and other goods for same-day delivery. Postmates was acquired by Uber in December 2020 for $2.65 billion and gradually integrated into Uber Eats, with the standalone Postmates brand being wound down by 2022.
