Paul Graham on Twitter: "The Doordash founders told me about two techniques they learned during YC that they still use: Doing things that don't scale (https://t.co/nROmN4eyhO), and using weekly growth rate as a target when launching new things (https://t.co/bAcAN5wROL)."

  Your growth essay, and the weekly target, was transformational at @ReceiptBank and to this day I feel that I owe you a debt because it was that valuable.

  Doordash were meticulous in their approach. There are some athletes that seem to just play with purpose. Nadal comes to mind, he plays every shot with intention and purpose. I can’t help but think that Doordash have done the same. Every move made with purpose and diligence.
