Maybe this time around the business can be profitable at scale. What few people know/remember is that Kozmo, despite ultimately burning large amounts of money, was profitable in three cities right before they shut down. I love Instacart, I use it almost every day! Glad to see some big name investors agree.

How is this different than Webvan? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webvan
For anyone comparing us to Webvan - we are different. I've shared why that's the case several times before (google instacart). But, I think pictures speak louder than words: Instacart: http://imgur.com/2tWWh Webvan: http://minus.com/l2Mq5zUpwCP6E
Great service. Makes shopping for groceries a cinch. My only qualm is that they're not serving NYC yet. Hopefully this funding means fast expansion!

That you are no-one and they are a big company,mature and well organized? This is what I got as a person how know nothing about both. And I am not sure that is a point for you.
The point is, in case you truly didn't get it, is that these guys are a scrappy start-up (which, we hope, isn't burning money into a fiery pit of despair), and Webvan is a too-big-for-its-britches lumbering incumbent.
Good luck guys - Instacart seems like it's got amazing potential and I hope you guys do wonderfully.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
NYC has FreshDirect though... How does this compare?
Instacart has same day (3 hour and 1 hour) delivery options. Freshdirect is next-day. As a startup founder, this kind of flexibility is great. Instacart also has a slick mobile app, which is a more pleasurable shopping experience.
