39. Why Deliveroo Started With One Hungry Guy in London with Will Shu, co-founder of Deliveroo

Dela

What if the entire delivery revolution came down to one person who just wanted a decent meal brought to his door? That is essentially what happened. Will Shu, co-founder of Deliveroo, unpacks how delivery really began, why logistics is "shockingly complex," what the three sides of a delivery marketplace actually demand, and where drones, AI and dynamic pricing are taking the industry next.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • Building Deliveroo from a personal need into a global delivery platform
  • Balancing consumers, merchants and riders in a complex three-sided marketplace
  • Using data, machine learning and dynamic pricing to optimise delivery logistics
  • Trusting founder instinct while using data to make better decisions
  • How AI, drones and changing consumer expectations could shape delivery’s future
