最佳与最差：硅谷科技初创公司CEO评点2013

阿普瓦•麦赫塔

CEO，当日派送服务Instacart

公司业务：在线食品杂货订购和当日派送

最佳：我们所在的市场受到高度监管。我们的核心业务是众包，如果你关注房屋租赁网站Airbnb、打车软件Uber、共享乘租服务Lyft和拼车服务商Sidecar等，你会发现他们面临着很多监管难题，很难为产品找到市场空间。而他们一次次成功打入一座座城市，这让我们看到了希望。这个行业肯定会有更好的前景。

最差：相反，这些公司也在许多城市遭遇了失败。他们还要面临许多法律诉讼和各地的禁令。在目前状况下，许多初创公司，还有他们所进行的大量创新，都不得不去挑战传统规则。

Apoorva Mehta

CEO, Instacart

The company's 411: Online grocery orders and same-day delivery.

Best: We're in a very highly regulated market, if you can imagine. We're focusing on crowdsourcing, which if you follow Airbnb, Uber, Lyft, and Sidecar, they've had so much trouble working against the regulations to find a niche for their products. Seeing them succeed time after time, city after city was very promising. There's definitely more hope for this industry.

Worst: Conversely, there were also cities where some of those companies were not very successful. There were some lawsuits they had to face and several cease and desists as well. At this point in time, a lot of the companies that are started, a lot of the innovation that's done, has to go against the conventional regulations out there.
