It’s now been a week since the news was officially confirmed that DoorDash has reached a definitive agreement to acquire Instacart. We learned a lot in the deal announcement, and since then analysts right across the industry have shared their views on the $17bn deal.
But what has the response been within Instacart? What does the proposed deal mean for Instacart’s existing marketplace and enterprise customers? Why will it have such a long time to close, and what happens in the meantime?
In a podcast exclusive, GrocerTalk brings you the insider view from the Instacart c-suite, from someone who had a seat at the table during the negotiations, and the person best placed to hear what existing customers are saying. Instacart Chief Commercial Officer Ryan Hamburger joins Ben for this GrocerTalk Special.
GrocerTalk is possible due to the help and support of our title sponsors Vusion, Portager, Sifter and Instacart Enterprise.
