Instacart is building the first ever virtual grocery store that offers customers an unimaginable level of convenience by allowing them to order from multiple local stores and have items delivered to their door on the same day. We have raised more than $11 M in financing from Sequoia, Khosla, Canaan & YC but we are still a very small and focused team of 10 people.
Here is what PG has to say about us:
"Incidentally, of all the startups we've funded, Instacart is one of the ones we ourselves use most. Jessica can't stop talking about how great it is. You don't realize how useful grocery delivery is till you have small children (like we do). And Instacart is by far the best option for this.
Instacart is one of those rare products that's surprisingly great. I.e. you don't realize how good such a thing could be till you try it. A lot of the best startups have this quality. I wish we could figure out a way to identify them when they apply to YC, but at the moment I admit we can't."
