Background
Evan Moore holds a highly rigorous academic and financial background, earning an MBA from the Stanford Graduate School of Business. Before deeply engaging in Silicon Valley startups, his highly analytical background working in traditional finance and intense venture modeling provided the exact strategic and financial blueprint required to successfully structure DoorDash's incredibly complex early business and unit economics.
Founding Story
Evan Moore is an American venture capitalist and one of the original four co-founders of the massive food delivery platform DoorDash. Moore initially met his co-founders at the Stanford Graduate School of Business during an intense entrepreneurship class called 'Startup Garage.' In 2013, he helped launch the company, playing an absolutely critical role in designing its initial business models and personally delivering the very first orders as a foundational 'dasher.' Despite his massive early contributions to DoorDash's foundational strategy, Moore ultimately departed the company after just 17 months. He later successfully transitioned into the real estate tech sector, joining Opendoor as an early executive, before ultimately becoming a highly prominent venture capitalist at Khosla Ventures.
