While they were still students at Stanford, Fang, along with Stanley Tang and Tony Xu, founded DoorDash, a online food ordering and food delivery platform, in 2013. When the company was founded, the three made DoorDash deliveries themselves. From May 2013 to February 2019, Fang was the company's chief technology officer.DoorDash was established in 2013 as a class project for a joint Engineering and Business school class. Initially named PaloAltoDelivery.com, the founders perceived that most local small businesses had not solved how to deliver food. Fang says "when you tried to get food delivered in Palo Alto, back in 2013, it was really only Domino's Pizza and the local Chinese restaurant." DoorDash had its IPO in December 2020, making Fang's net worth an estimated $2.2 billion as of December 2020.
As of March 2025, Fang owns approximately 4% DoorDash shares and also serves as its head of consumer engineering.
