More consolidation is taking place in the world of online food delivery. TechCrunch has learned and confirmed that GrubMarket — the startup backed by Tiger Global, among others, that has quietly built a B2B empire in produce and grocery logistics — has acquired Good Eggs, the once-feted fresh food delivery startup that more recently fell on hard times.
The terms of the deal are not being disclosed but we understand from sources close to the deal that it was a stock transaction with a valuation marginally higher than Good Eggs’ last valuation, which was $22 million. Investors proactively approached GrubMarket looking for an exit for Good Eggs.
We can also confirm that Good Eggs will be run by a new leader under GrubMarket. Keith Brewer, who was the COO of GrubMarket-owned Daylight Foods, will head up Good Eggs. While a number of Good Eggs’ staff are expected to come over to GrubMarket, it’s not yet clear whether Rodrigo Arevalo, the Uber alum who is currently listed as Good Eggs’ CEO, will be staying on as part of that.
This is a pretty major turn for Good Eggs, and one more signal of how investors that have pumped hundreds of millions of dollars into perpetually loss-making startups are now looking to draw a line under those activities and move on.
Good Eggs, for context, valued as high as $365 million in November 2020 per PitchBook data (a round it announced in 2021), with a vaunted investor list that included Benchmark, Index, Sequoia and Thrive among many others. Post COVID-19, however, it hit the rocks, and it was most recently marked down a whopping 94% last year, landing it at that $22 million valuation.
GrubMarket, meanwhile, is now valued at around $3.5 billion and has raised over $560 million in funding. The company has long has its eye on an IPO although with the public markets still extremely volatile for tech stocks, and the IPO window open just a crack. Mike Xu, GrubMarket’s founder and CEO, declined to comment on that when interviewed for this story. (There is a chance there could be more financing getting announced, too: GrubMarket’s $3.5 billion valuation was reported by CNBC earlier this year; PitchBook’s last valuation of $2.2 billion dates from 2022.)
GrubMarket was initially a competitor, and then a supplier to Good Eggs, and the changing nature of that relationship may well provide a window into why some companies succeed in the grocery logistics and delivery space, and some do not.
Both Good Eggs and GrubMarket launched, respectively in 2011 and 2014, with a focus on B2C, specifically delivering boxes of fresh food to consumers and businesses. But later, as Good Eggs kept its eyes on consumer, GrubMarket pivoted to concentrating on the B2B opportunity, and it scaled fast working both with smaller grocers as well as major ones.
Whole Foods is its biggest customer, although it supplies groceries and beyond to other majors like Walmart, as well as other big names like Stanford University, and in the last few years Good Eggs itself. With a pretty relentless eye on margins, unit economics, KPIs, and long relationships with suppliers — and I’d add a pretty intense work ethic, judging by the lack of sleeping hours of its founder — GrubMarket is profitable and has been for some time.
“Profitability is in our DNA,” Xu said. “We know how to get things profitable. It’s a systematic approach.”
Xu added that the focus still remains very much on B2B for his company — it has made more than 80 acquisitions, most of them to bolster that business — although acquisitions like Good Eggs underscore how it could use its economies of scale to revisit B2C again. Still, Xu described the deal as “optimistic” rather than opportunistic.
Grocery delivery and food startups overall have faced a lot of ups and downs, with some categories hit especially hard. Getir, a major player in “instant” grocery delivery that aggressively raised hundreds of millions of dollars (from some of the same backers as Good Eggs, as it happens), earlier this year cut its losses and retreated to its home market of Turkey. Others are struggling to raise at strong valuations, while a few like GrubMarket play the role of consolidator to improve cost structure. Publicly-traded Instacart is due to announce earnings today, which could prove a bellwether to how others will fare.
Hello There. I found your blog using msn. This is a very well written article.
I’ll be sure to bookmark it and come back to read more of your useful information. Thanks for the post.
I’ll definitely return.
Hello there, You’ve done a fantastic job.
I will definitely digg it and personally recommend to my friends.
I’m sure they’ll be benefited from this site.
Another scorching night here, the kind where the air itself feels like it’s placing bets against you.
I found myself logged into sportsbook again. It’s usually my after-dark refuge when the heat finally subsides.
Honestly, lately, the wins have been like finding water in the desert.
My balance is looking thinner than my patience, and I’m starting
to sweat more about the wife finding out than the actual games.
She’s been giving me that look, you know?
My so-called ‘mate’ – the one who’s always hanging about,
practically looking over my shoulder – he’s always on here too.
And the infuriating thing? He’s constantly hitting it
big. Slots like slot_game_1 and slot_game_2, even that crazy aviator_game where the plane flies off with all your hopes.
He even brags about his wins on slot_game_3 and
slot_game_4.
It’s like this place is has a soft spot for him. Makes you
wonder, doesn’t it? Especially with the way he looks at my wife when she’s not looking.
Makes a man suspicious, this heat does.
Despite all that, and maybe it’s just stubbornness, I still find myself drawn to
favorite_slot_game. There’s something about those sugary treats that keeps me clicking, even when the numbers aren’t falling my way.
Maybe tonight will be different. Maybe the desert gods will finally throw me a
bone. Or maybe my wife will just throw me out.
Either way, here I am, spinning again at sportsbook.
Pros:
Available 24/7 (perfect for my nocturnal habits)
Wide variety of games (even if some seem to favor certain people)
They do have favorite_slot_game, which I genuinely enjoy
Cons:
My personal luck here has been terrible lately
Seeing him win constantly is incredibly frustrating
Starting to seriously impact my finances at home and relationships
Overall: Undecided. It’s a convenient way to pass the hot evenings, but my
recent experiences and observations are making me seriously question if it’s worth the risk.
Especially with everything else going on.

بک لینک ها چه هستند ؟
بک لینکها لینکهایی هستند که
از یک وبسایت به وبسایت دیگر اشاره میکنند.
این لینکها به عنوان یک تأییدیه از
طرف سایت منبع به سایت مقصد تلقی میشوند و به بهبود رتبهبندی موتورهای
جستجو کمک میکنند. شما میتوانید این بک لینک هارا به صورت طبیعی در طولانی مدت با استفاده
از لینک های منبع بقیه وب سایت ها به
سایت خود بدست آورید و یا لینک سایت خود را در سایت های دیگه قرار دهید
که به این عمل خرید بک لینک گفته میشود .
به طور کلی، هرچه یک وبسایت بک لینکهای با کیفیت بیشتری داشته باشد، احتمال بیشتری دارد که رتبه
بالاتری در نتایج جستجوهای گوگل و سایر موتورهای جستجو کسب کند.
