从南京移民之子到780亿美元公司的掌门人：徐迅（Tony Xu）的DoorDash创业路，从餐馆洗碗工走向170亿美元收购Instacart

美国外卖平台DoorDash联合创始人、董事长兼首席执行官徐迅（Tony Xu）的创业故事，近日随公司一笔大交易再次受到关注：DoorDash与Instacart于10月29日签署最终收购协议，交易对价为每股65美元、股权价值约170亿美元（本站已报道）。据《华尔街日报》的人物报道，这家由徐迅参与创办的公司如今市值约780亿美元，占据美国外卖市场六成以上份额。

徐迅1985年出生于中国南京，4岁多时随父母移民到美国伊利诺伊州香槟市。他的父亲在伊利诺伊大学攻读航空工程与应用数学博士；母亲在中国时是医生，来美后在一家中餐馆端盘子、洗碗，徐迅从小就在餐馆里洗碗帮工。他的英文名Tony，取自情景喜剧《谁是老板？》（Who's the Boss?）里的角色Tony Micelli。

徐迅毕业于加州大学伯克利分校工业工程与运筹学专业，先后在麦肯锡、eBay与PayPal、Square等公司工作，2013年从斯坦福大学商学院取得工商管理硕士学位（MBA），并获Arjay Miller学者荣誉。

创业的起点是2013年1月在帕洛阿尔托的一次访谈：一家法式马卡龙店的老板娘向徐迅和同学们抱怨，配送是她最大的难题。四人当月就上线了一个简单的配送网站PaloAltoDelivery.com，随后参加创业孵化器Y Combinator，创立DoorDash，总部设在旧金山。公司主攻同行忽视的郊区市场，逐渐超过Uber Eats和Grubhub等对手，2020年12月在纽约证券交易所上市。从餐馆洗碗工家庭走出的徐迅，如今掌管着美国最大的外卖平台。

From a Nanjing Immigrant's Son to the Head of a $78 Billion Company: Tony Xu's DoorDash Story, From Restaurant Dishwasher to the $17 Billion Instacart Deal

The founding story of Tony Xu, co-founder, chairman and CEO of the food-delivery platform DoorDash, is drawing fresh attention after the company's latest deal: on October 29, DoorDash signed a definitive agreement to acquire Instacart at $65 per share, an equity value of about $17 billion, as GSM has reported. According to a Wall Street Journal profile, the company Xu co-founded is now worth about $78 billion and holds more than 60% of the U.S. food-delivery market.

Xu was born Xu Xun in Nanjing, China, in 1985 and immigrated at about age four or five to Champaign, Illinois. His father pursued a doctorate in aerospace engineering and applied mathematics at the University of Illinois; his mother, a doctor in China, worked serving tables and washing dishes in a Chinese restaurant in America, and the young Xu washed dishes there too. His English name, Tony, came from Tony Micelli, the character in the sitcom "Who's the Boss?"

Xu earned a degree in industrial engineering and operations research from the University of California, Berkeley, worked at McKinsey, eBay/PayPal and Square, and completed an MBA at Stanford's Graduate School of Business in 2013 as an Arjay Miller Scholar.

The idea for DoorDash came in January 2013 in Palo Alto, when the owner of a French macaroon shop told Xu and his classmates that delivery was her biggest problem. The four launched a simple site, PaloAltoDelivery.com, that same month, then went through the Y Combinator accelerator and founded DoorDash in San Francisco. Focusing on suburban markets its rivals ignored, the company overtook Uber Eats and Grubhub and went public on the New York Stock Exchange in December 2020. The son of a restaurant dishwasher now runs America's largest food-delivery platform.
