DoorDash, a Palo Alto, CA-based platform that enables small businesses to provide its customers with local delivery services, raised $40M in Series B funding.
The round was led by Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers with participation from existing investors Sequoia Capital, Khosla Ventures, and Charles River Ventures. As part of the financing, KPCB’s John Doerr will be joining DoorDash’s board.
The company intends to use the funds to expand nationwide and invest further in the logistics technology beyond food.
