Postmates has raised $140 million in a new round of funding, a huge cash injection to a company that had been struggling to attract users and turn a profit.。
Postmates offers delivery of just about anything a person could want, including restaurants that don't otherwise deliver. The company has a workforce of more than 40,000 people that transports goods on demand.。

Founders Fund partner Brian Singerman will join the Postmates board, the delivery company also announced.。

With this new funding round, Postmates wants to launch internationally and expand its delivery categories beyond food. That means adding more delivery options for alcohol and wellness products in particular.。 The company sees potential for its service in international markets, even where UberEats has already aggressively expanded. The company is especially interested in cities in the Middle East and South America, Postmates vice president of growth and strategy Kristin Schaefer told。Mashable。
