Bastian is the CEO of Postmates, the on-demand delivery company he co-founded in 2011 and turned into a household name. The idea for Postmates was originally conceived in 2005 when Bastian was relocating from Munich to London and he struggled with finding a simple solution for moving goods around a city. He later pursued this notion of “ride-sharing for stuff” through AngelPad in San Francisco, where he met his co-founders Sean Plaice and Sam Street. In 2019, the Postmates service was operational in 3,500 cities nationally, available to 70% of the people in the U.S., with more than 500K merchants on the platform.

Prior to Postmates, Bastian co-founded Curated.by, a real-time tweet curation platform based in London. Before that, at 12snap, he managed marketing budgets for Adidas and Lufthansa and helped many European startups in product related roles. A native of Germany, Bastian now lives in San Francisco.
