Documented cause
Rapiddo built a same-day delivery network for Brazilian SMEs. After raising $15M, iFood expanded its logistics services beyond food delivery and Rappi entered Brazil with $400M in SoftBank funding. Both offered similar services at subsidized prices. Rapiddo could not compete on price or brand recognition and shut down in 2020.
Lesson
“In delivery, competing against SoftBank capital requires either a defensible niche (geography, product type, vertical) or an exit. A general-purpose last-mile network cannot survive a subsidized competitor with 20x your capital.”
