DoorDash Co-Founder Stanley Tang will join the board of autonomous delivery startup Also as part of a $200 million Series C financing round led by Greenoaks. The investment is part of a multiyear commercial partnership between the two companies to develop and accelerate autonomous delivery at scale. Also builds small autonomous electric vehicles designed for complex urban environments like intersections and bike lanes. The partnership aims to deploy these vehicles in areas where traditional delivery methods face challenges. DoorDash gains access to cutting-edge autonomous technology while Also secures a major commercial partner to scale its operations.

This move positions DoorDash to potentially expand its delivery capabilities into new markets and reduce reliance on human drivers in dense urban cores.
