Webvan and Amazon took different paths in the world of delivery.
Webvan's failure can be attributed to premature expansion, high overhead costs, poor financial planning, and the immaturity of the e-commerce market.
Amazon's success stems from gradual scaling, technological prowess, careful capital management, and a customer-focused strategy.
While Webvan's vision was bold, it lacked the necessary infrastructure and financial discipline, whereas Amazon revolutionized the delivery industry over the course of decades.
