Dot to Dot Behind the Person

How to start a start up with Zal Dordi

Episode Summary

This week on the podcast I speak to a Silicon Valley native Zal Dordi. Aside from being a genuinely lovely person he’s also got a great business brain on his shoulders with an MBA from Insead and time spent at McKinsey. He describes himself as a startup guy at heart with a passion for building and developing human relationships. And that combination makes him a perfect fit with my future business plans (watch this space!).

Episode Notes

While Zal was one of the first employees at DoorDash helping it grow to its value of the $50 billion in 2021, he remains modest, down to earth and incredibly easy company. We talk about life growing up as a child in the San Francisco Bay Area, being there from the beginning of a startup which grew to be a giant, his Zoroastrian heritage, what family means to him and married life in London.

There’s so much more to discuss that he may come back for a second episode.
