Which food delivery startup was founded by Bastian Lehmann? Postmates was founded by Bastian Lehmann.

Lehmann co-founded Postmates in 2011 with Sean Plaice and Sam Street. The San Francisco company began as an on-demand delivery service for restaurant meals and other local goods, using a mobile app and website to connect customers, merchants, and couriers.

Postmates expanded beyond restaurant delivery. In 2014, it opened its application programming interface to merchants, allowing smaller businesses to offer local delivery through their own services. The company also experimented with autonomous delivery technology and launched in Mexico City in 2017, although it later left that market.

A common mix-up is confusing Postmates with Uber Eats because Uber acquired Postmates in 2020. They remain distinct brands, even though Postmates became part of Uber’s delivery business. Grubhub and DoorDash are competitors, not companies founded by Lehmann.
