| |  | | Saturday, July 11, 2020 |  | | Dear Startup Investor,
On July 6th, public rideshare behemoth Uber announced that it will acquire its rival food delivery startup, Postmates, in a $2.65 billion all-stock deal.
In an all-stock deal, shareholders of the acquired company (Postmates, in this case), receive shares of the acquiring company (Uber, in this case) as part of the deal terms.
Basically, Postmates' shareholders chose to obtain equity in Uber rather than exit and take cash in exchange for their shares... a risky move.
All-stock deals can be great for investors if they increase the acquiring companies' stock value. But there's always a chance that a company's stock value could drop - and that's where the real risk lies.
Now, in the wake of COVID-19, Postmates has been doing exceptionally well, as more people rely on food delivery services. Its competitors, including DoorDash, Grubhub, and UberEats, have also seen huge upticks in demand lately.
Considering that, here's my take: Uber acquired Postmates in a move to hold stronger footing on the public trading floor and gain a tighter hold on the food delivery services industry.
It could be a smart move. After all, it hasn't always been a pretty picture for Uber in the past.
However, their story paints a familiar - and positive - picture for their angel investors, who bought in around their lowest valuation 10 years ago.

Until next time,
