<ul class="summary-list"><li>Mike Hayes, 35, is a <keyword id="2675287" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="Doordash">DoorDash</keyword> <keyword id="2836011" type="POSITION" weightage="60" keywordseo="delivery-driver">delivery driver</keyword> in Oregon.</li><li>He can make up to $800 working about 45 hours a week; on slower weeks he earns more like $200 to $300.</li><li>This is his story, as told to freelance writer Meira Gebel.</li></ul>In March 2020, I was laid off from my full-time job as a chef due to the coronavirus pandemic. While I was job searching on Craigslist, I kept coming across ads to be a delivery driver for DoorDash, so I thought "Why not?" and decided to apply. I wanted to do something other than cooking, I was a chef for over 17 years, and was feeling burned out by it. I decided to watch YouTube videos and find Reddit groups talking about what it was like to be a Dasher: how it worked, and how successful you could be. I saw promising things, so I was excited for my first day. I was hired as a Dasher in September 2020. The application process is fairly standard. You have to show that you have a driver's license and proof of insurance and have to pass a background check - which came back quickly. After that all came back clear, I was ready to start working the very next day. During my first shift, I made $50 in two hours and was sold, and started working regularly three to four days a week.<h2>I work roughly eight hours a day, six days a week.</h2><div type="image" title="Mike Hayes" height="372" width="496" msid="79290781" hostid="261"></div>On the days I work as a Dasher, I wake up around 7 a.m. to take my wife to work. Then, I come home and wake my older daughter up and get her breakfast ready so that she is ready for school. I check the app to see if it's busy. If it is, I may log on just for an hour or two for the breakfast rush. If not, I drop my younger daughter off at my sister-in-law's house, and get on the road around 9 a.m. I live in Forest Grove, Oregon, about a 35-minute drive west of downtown Portland. I try to stay around Beaverton and Hillsboro when I'm doing orders, because I don't like to be too far away from home. If it's a slow morning, sometimes I'll make the trip to Portland because it's always busy there. If there are no orders in your immediate location, the DoorDash app will instruct you to drive to a "hot spot" - an area that has a lot of restaurants that tend to be busy. Once you arrive at a hotspot, an order will pop up on your screen and you have a few seconds to accept or decline. Sometimes you'll have to wait a long time - the longest I've waited for an order has been about 45 minutes. After you've accepted an order, you will drive to the restaurant to pick it up. <h2>Most of the time, the restaurant already has the order ready to go and placed aside, but there are times where you have to sit around and wait.</h2>Waiting for an order to be ready is sometimes inconvenient but understandable. Still, there's been multiple times where I've been waiting for an order just to see a line of customers come and go while I'm still waiting. Some restaurants don't prioritize delivery app orders, and instead seem to put in-store customers first. Once the order is ready, you drive it to the customer's location, which can be anywhere from a half mile away to 30 miles. Before you accept an order, you can see how far the delivery is going to be and how much the payout is. On DoorDash, the customer tips before they place the order. The standard default is usually 20% but customers have 24 hours to change the tip amount after they've received their order.Sometimes you will get a "stacked" order, meaning two orders from the same restaurant going in the same direction, or two orders from two separate restaurants going in the same direction.I go back home at 2:30 p.m. to take a break before heading back out for the dinner rush at 4:30 p.m. After the dinner rush, I'm home by 8 p.m. With COVID-19, most of our orders require us to leave the food at the front door, but there is the rare occasion where a customer will request it to be handed to them in person.Read more: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/doordash-investors-ipo-t-rowe-fidelity-pensions-initial-public-offering-2020-11">DoorDash is heading for an IPO, and investors from asset managers to city pension plans are set to benefit - here's how they value their stakes</a><h2>Since we can see what the payout will be before we accept an order, offers with the lowest tip generally get passed down through different Dashers before someone accepts it. </h2>My biggest piece of advice for customers is to tip more than $5 on your delivery if you want it to arrive fast. The bigger the tip, the more incentive the Dasher will accept it right away and to get it to you quickly. And the more you tip, the more we get paid. Tips are our livelihood, since we don't depend on the DoorDash base pay. The base pay for DoorDash is something like $3 an hour, so we are really dependent on tips. If someone only tips $3, that's only about $7 for the entire delivery, which sometimes isn't even worth the gas. I've gotten offers for $3.75 to drive 30 miles, and that's just ridiculous. On a good week, I can make up to $800 working about 45 hours a week. On a bad week, which has been normal lately unfortunately, I can make around $200 to $300.<h2>The incentives and bonuses DoorDash offers its Dashers are not realistic. </h2><div type="image" title="Mike Hayes" height="734" width="979" msid="79290785" hostid="261"></div>Most of the bonuses and incentives we get are not worth it. If there is a $2 bonus pay, that will only make up for what people aren't tipping. DoorDash will routinely offer $2 bonus pay or other cash incentives to get more drivers out and working. Sometimes they'll offer a $50 bonus if you complete a certain number of orders in a specific timeframe. These incentives come and go all the time.Right now, where I live and work, there aren't many people who tip enough for the incentives to be worth the time. I've seen people on Facebook groups and on Reddit threads who say they're making money from the bonus pay, but I haven't seen much of it myself. At the beginning of the pandemic, people were tipping a lot, but that has worn off. It's rare for me to get a big tip now.

I do however have the opportunity to take days off whenever I want, which I enjoy. I also don't mind driving at all, and listen to a handful of podcasts while making deliveries.<h2>I wish DoorDash would offer its Dashers hazard pay since we are still working during the middle of a pandemic. </h2>I have my own mask and my own hand sanitizer and disinfectants, but it would be nice if they sent us PPE so we didn't have to pay for it out of our own pockets. Also, even after two months of being a Dasher, in November 2020 I still hadn't received my delivery bag or space blanket. (Editor's note: DoorDash has offered hand sanitizer and gloves to drivers in some cities, as <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/doordash-offering-hand-sanizer-and-gloves-to-40-its-couriers-2020-3" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">previously reported by Business Insider</a>.)As Dashers, we have the option to cash out once a day, but it costs us $1.99 to be transferred to our bank accounts. If we don't cash out, our weekly pay is deposited into our accounts every Monday. I just wish DoorDash didn't charge money to cash out our earnings. If I need gas or need to buy groceries, it's a bummer that I have to pay my employer to receive my own money. Even though Dashers are <keyword id="3423210" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="independent-contractors">independent contractors</keyword> using our own personal vehicles, I also wish DoorDash would provide us with dash cams, in case we get into an accident or have an encounter with a customer. I'm OK with being an independent contractor instead of an employee because I am able to work whenever I want, which is great because I take care of my kids when my wife is at work. The downside of being an independent contractor is not having a fair wage or any real benefits. I worry about what my tax situation is going to look like at the end of the year too.Read more: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/doordash-ceo-tony-xu-ipo-small-businesses-coronavirus-2020-11">DoorDash CEO Tony Xu says helping small businesses survive the COVID-19 pandemic is part of why the company is filing to go public</a><h2>When <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/states-restrictions-surging-coronavirus-cases-2020-11">the second coronavirus lockdown</a> took place in Oregon, I saw an influx of delivery orders. </h2>Oregon was the first state to issue a second partial lockdown of a select few counties in order to curb the surge of coronavirus cases. At that time, lots of people began ordering delivery in anticipation of the lockdown.A second lockdown was a good opportunity for me to make more money, because people still wanted to eat at restaurants, even if they were stuck at home again. Editor's note: In an email to Business Insider, DoorDash clarified that base pay is provided per order, not per hour, and ranges from $2 to over $10. DoorDash said that drivers also get 100% of tips, and on average "earn more than $22 per hour that they're on a job, including tips."

The People's Bank of China has reportedly hiked the amount of money some banks are required to hold in reserves, according to Bloomberg. This report surfaces just days after Beijing announced Chinese banks extended 2.51 trillion yuan ($390 billion) worth of new loans in January, the largest on record. While no specific details have been announced, the increase is reportedly for banks that lent too quickly during the month.<a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-02-19/u-k-retail-sales-surged-most-in-more-than-two-years-in-january">UK retail sales surged</a>. Retail sales in the UK jumped 2.3% month-over-month in January, easily surpassing the 0.7% gain that was expected by the Bloomberg consensus.

According to Bloomberg, the Norwegian government is expected to withdraw up to 80 billion kroner ($10 billion) from its wealth fund throughout 2016. The number marks a huge increase from the government's announcement in October that it planned to spend around 4.9 billion kroner ($570 million) this year to support the economy. In his annual speech on Thursday, the governor of Norway's central bank, Oeystein Olsen said, "The fall in oil prices will reduce Norway's national wealth" and that "...increased spending is not a viable path to follow."<a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/venezuela-economy-idUSL2N15X0U0">Venezuela released its 2015 GDP and inflation data</a>.

10 things you need to know before the opening bell

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Nico Bossi is an entrepreneur with a background in investment banking at Citigroup and COO of Verasity Worldwide, as well as the founder of two investing and media companies.</li><li>He always thought he would have kids at a young age, but unexpected circumstances led him to align with the common trend of having kids later.</li><li>Millennial moms and dads are demanding different kinds of products and services that are more eco-friendly and make parenting more efficient.</li><li>Bossi said that there are ways companies can capitalize on the delayed parenting strategy, like making what used to be considered luxury childcare techniques accessible to everyone.</li><li><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/?hprecirc-bullet">Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories</a>.</li></ul>I grew up in Italy, just outside Rome, and I always thought I'd become a young father. I pictured myself kicking a ball around the yard with my children and taking them with me to watch AS Roma, our hometown soccer team - a pep in my step all the while, my parenting skills bolstered by the buoyancy of youth.Perhaps I expected to have children young because my mother and father were young when they had me. That was the norm back then: to raise big, rambunctious families. My mother is one of five sisters, and I grew up surrounded by cousins - 12 at the last count. My grandparents also lived nearby.When I emigrated to America after high school, I maintained both my hope and my expectation that I'd be a young father. Things started according to plan when I met and married <a href="http://www.jenniferleesnowden.com">my American wife</a>. Yet as it tends to do, life threw us a curveball. Due to illness, we were unable to start a family right away, as we'd hoped. This was frustrating and scary. However, due to the amazing progress in fertility medicine, we were able to "bank" our luck. As I write this, there are some fertilized embryos nestled safely inside nitrogen tanks, awaiting a future arrival date.Although it felt unusual at the time, the fact that my wife and I have waited to have children aligns us with the broader worldwide cultural shift: More and more, parents are delaying procreation. According to the <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/vsrr/report004.pdf">National Vital Statistics System</a>, 3.8 million babies were born in the US in 2017. Although it sounds like a high number, this was the lowest reported fertility rate in 30 years. Importantly, this reflects the successful campaign against unwanted teen pregnancies - which are down 55% since 2007, according to NVSS - but it's also a matter of strategy. Some parents are waiting until they feel financially secure and professionally established to have children - which is entirely logical: <a href="https://www.fns.usda.gov/resource/expenditures-children-families-reports-all-years">According to the US Department of Agriculture's Expenditures on Children by Families</a>, in 2015 parents were expected to spend $233,610 to raise a child, from birth to adulthood. People are waiting longer to have kids. The mean age of first-time mothers is continuing to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/08/04/upshot/up-birth-age-gap.html">increase</a> from 21 in 1972 to 26 today, alongside fathers who are now around 31, up from 27 in the same time period. As a result, when couples today do have children, they are more informed and more conscious of safety concerns because they've taken the time to educate themselves. They're also constantly digitally connected and demanding better and more reliable child-centered products and services. Some of those products include <a href="https://cocooncam.com/">Cocoon Cam</a>, an AI-vital signs, data-capturing monitor started by a former Tesla engineer; <a href="https://www.tinyhood.com/">Tinyhood</a>, an on-demand expert advice network which functions as a "ParentTech"-style assistant; and <a href="https://kidizen.com/">Kidizen</a>, a peer-to-peer resale market for kids clothing and products. All told, this amounts to a seismic generational shift, both in how parents prepare for raising kids and what they demand out of the technology that helps them do that. <a href="https://news.crunchbase.com/news/millennial-parents-helping-grow-baby-tech-market/">Data shows</a> $300 million in capital flowing to startups servicing this revolution. What we're also seeing is a broader socioeconomic shift towards products and services with roots in the <a href="https://www.parqex.com/how-parents-benefit-from-the-sharing-economy/">sharing economy</a> - companies that allow parents to rent, resale, and share rather than buy - as well as the "<a href="https://time.com/4376283/quantified-self-parents-apps/">quantified self</a>" movement: technology that tracks data for self-improvement.This trend is of deep interest to me, both personally and professionally. I'm not only an aspiring father, but an investor. The ability to see around corners, to understand what's coming next, is a vital skill for early-stage venture capitalists and one I've worked hard to hone. As such, it's clear to me that what we have on our hands is not just a revolution in parenting, but an economic opportunity.Here's how we should all be preparing for it. <h1>Look for companies that are democratizing parent services for the masses</h1>At Alpha Edison, the VC firm where I work, we make concerted efforts to identify startups who use new technology to bring upmarket services - services which were once only enjoyed by the rich and powerful - to the masses. (We call this strategy <a href="https://www.alphaedison.com/insights/2018/11/13/democratized-decisions">democratizing decisions</a>.) Examples of companies who fit this bill are Uber and Lyft. Both companies made perks like private drivers, for example, available to all. There are several companies who are democratizing the parent services space in a similar way. Consider the rideshare service for minors, <a href="https://www.hopskipdrive.com/">Hop Skip Drive</a>, which has raised $75 million in funding to date according to Pitchbook. In providing child-safe alternatives to Uber and Lyft, their growth will mirror what happens with the industry as a whole.Other examples of companies bringing "luxury" to the masses within the parenting sector include services like doulas (<a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/birth-made-easy-hypnobirthing/id1021177624">hypnobirthing meditations</a>, <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/squeezy-nhs-pelvic-floor-app/id700740791">pelvic floor</a> exercises/reminders); <a href="https://www.hisawyer.com/">after-school EdTech</a>; digital <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/app/id661829386?mt=8">therapists</a>, and <a href="https://www.workingmother.com/beautiful-co-working-spaces-that-offer-babysitting-too#page-3">coworking spaces with childcare.</a> In making upscale, desirable parenting services available to a larger percentage of people, these companies have a chance at real success. <h1>Look for companies that alleviate 'silent suffering'</h1>Another category of market opportunity centers around relieving "silent suffering" - everyday irritations that we all just put up with. The kind that, if someone solved them, would unlock massive latent demand. For example, many women suffer in silence when it comes to the physical recovery from pregnancy. "As a society, we've made it seem 'normal' that women will pee in their pants, have painful sex, or never regain core or pelvic strength for years after giving birth," said Carine Carmy, cofounder and CEO of <a href="http://theoriginway.com">Origin</a>, a women's health company. "These issues are far more common than they need to be, affecting one in four adult women, and many women are no longer waiting in pain. They're seeking help and treatment, and the good news is that physical therapy and other noninvasive methods work."The most obvious form of silent suffering parents presently put up with is the lack of paid parental leave and affordable childcare options, making many parents - particularly mothers - unable to work. <a href="https://www.bls.gov/news.release/famee.nr0.htm">According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics</a>, only 71% of US mothers are in the workforce, compared to 93% of fathers. The participation rate drops still further - to 65% - for mothers with very small children. Both <a href="https://www.gillibrand.senate.gov/news/press/release/as-momentum-continues-to-grow-for-congress-to-take-action-on-paid-family-leave-gillibrand-delauro-stand-with-workers-business-leaders-and-advocates-to-reintroduce-the-family-act-to-give-every-american-worker-access-to-paid-family-and-medical-leave">paid parental leave</a> and <a href="https://www.warren.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/warren-unveils-universal-child-care-and-early-learning-proposal">universal childcare</a> are key pieces of legislation ripe for debate in the run up to the next election. In the meantime, providing safe, affordable childcare is a massive opportunity. Next gen parents want and need state-of-the-art childcare where they can keep in touch with offspring during the workday. They want on-site childcare at coworking spaces.Companies who can deliver on that in the near future will change lives. <h1>Look for non-toxic startups </h1>Parents today want products that are free of toxic chemicals. They likewise don't want products that promote climate-unfriendly practices. As a result, a variety of environmentally conscious companies have begun sprouting up. (It just so happens that many of the founders are celebrity parents.) These include Jessica Alba's eco-friendly child/baby line <a href="https://www.honest.com/">The Honest Company</a>, which has <a href="https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/the-honest-company">raised</a> around $500 million to date; Karolina Kurkova's wellness line <a href="https://gryphandivyrose.com/">Gryph &amp; IvyRose</a> known as "Goop for kids"; and Emma (Baby Spice) Bunton's <a href="https://kitandkin.com/">Kit &amp; Kin.</a>Emma Bunton in particular has captured mommy bloggers' universal acclaim. Bunton's company sells diapers made with far fewer chemicals than leading brands and chlorine-free fluff pulp harvested from sustainably managed forests. In the baby/child food sector, Sarah Michelle Gellar's company, <a href="https://foodstirs.com/">Foodstirs</a>, bills itself as "junk free" organic DIY baking, providing simple-to-use kits with no "bad" ingredients. <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/video/sarah-michelle-gellar-shares-secrets-launching-business-51242576">Gellar told Good Morning America</a> about the power of taking parenting brands direct to consumers: "Customers nowadays want to really know every part of what goes into what they're eating, what they're purchasing, and social media allows that," she shared.This epitomizes the ethos companies in this space are adopting - and hints at something of a winning formula that investors should be paying attention to. <h1>Look at companies poised to disrupt incumbents</h1>I'm bullish about the companies detailed above because, while many are still small, they nevertheless are direct threats to the biggest players in the baby/child products and services industry They're heralding trends that will only continue to grow in importance over time, as the parenting revolution takes shape and garners influence. I met recently with Lisa Barnett, the founder of <a href="https://www.littlespoon.com/">Little Spoon</a>. She reiterated that assisting the parenting revolution is very much something entrepreneurs like her are focusing on. "2018 was the first year the millennial generation represented the critical majority of new parents," she said. "And in the same way we've seen millennials disrupt so many other consumer categories, they've entered the parenting space with the same demands for high-quality, transparent, health-conscious, and affordable products for their families."The disruptive potential of entrepreneurs like Lisa is massive. Big picture, the total addressable market for global baby care products is <a href="https://www.statista.com/topics/1259/baby-care-market/">estimated</a> at $73.86 billion, and <a href="https://www.statista.com/statistics/258435/revenue-of-the-baby-care-products-market-worldwide/">projected</a> to grow to $109.13 billion by 2026, according to research and data company Statista. It's still a fragmented industry, but Johnson &amp; Johnson (23.2%), Procter &amp; Gamble (18%), and Kimberly-Clark (8%) Statista says are the three market leaders.And they're susceptible to disruption. In line with the widespread concerns around toxic and harmful ingredients, J&amp;J is still embroiled in a <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-johnson-johnson-cancer-lawsuit/jj-loses-trial-over-claims-linking-cancer-to-asbestos-in-talc-idUSKCN1HC2PL">lawsuit</a> around asbestos traces in their talcum powder that is said to cause cancer, which could negatively affect their market share in the coming years. So there's a real opportunity for smart startups to grab market share or make themselves ripe for successful IPO or acquisition.More importantly, there's a real opportunity for companies and investors to do good and change lives here. For example, when I met with Lisa, our conversation eventually turned to her parenting hopes. "I'd love to be a mother at some point," she said. "But I feel it's really tough, if not impossible, to be an entrepreneur CEO and working mother without masses of support." I felt for her. It's a horrible choice to have to be between pursuing your dreams and starting a family. Technology designed for the next generation of parents can alleviate some of that pressure and solve for the time-constraint burdens of early-stage parenting. Obviously, technology can't solve all of the problems parents face today, but developed and cultivated strategically, it can certainly make it easier for women to stay in or re-enter the workforce, should they choose to have kids. The way we raise families has changed - perhaps forever. It's time for founders and the people who power them to change, too.

There's been a revolution in parenting driven by millennials having kids later in life, and it's a huge economic opportunity for investors and founders
