Have you ever wondered why third-party marketplaces (DoorDash, UberEats, Grubhub, etc.) take ~35% GMV margin per order while charging restaurants acquisition costs for customers they've already acquired?! 

We see this monopolistic behavior as a HUGE opportunity and that's why we partnered with Bala Subramaniam and the Delivery Collective team to decentralize online ordering and make it affordable for all parties - restaurants, couriers, and customers. 

It's time to restore convenience with affordability.

At 640 Oxford we just launched our first podcast series, #YearOne, where we meet with founders and ask them to reflect on the highs/lows of starting their business during #YearOne.  Too many podcasts gloss over just how hard it is to be a founder and don't provide tangible advice to  founders. 

Mark Ang is a founder we invested in early on that we knew was special and feel lucky to call him a friend. We don't only admire Mark because he's built one of the largest 3PL businesses in Canada, works with global retailers, or raised $200M+...all before turning 30.  If you only noticed these accomplishments, you'd be selling him short. 

It's his emotional intelligence and ability to distill his experiences into brilliant advice. For example, listen to his thoughts around investors that actively listen vs. giving answers and what is most helpful to founders.
