1. Caviar ($21.6M/year)

Shawn conceived the idea for the Caviar food delivery app during a brainstorming session when he wanted an egg sandwich from his favorite shop in the Bay Area, which was too far away for convenient access.

Frustrated by the high cost and time involved in using TaskRabbit for delivery, he realized that they could utilize the independent contractor model popularized by Uber and Lyft for food delivery. This realization led to the creation of Caviar, pitched as the "Uber for food."
