He recently joined the board of directors for tech company Genies Inc., made an investment in Funko, is reportedly working on a new book, and has even considered heading up a news organization in the future. And, he’s not done yet — the former CEO is now supporting a company that might make you think twice about ordering from Instacart the next time you need groceries.

According to Reuters, Bob Iger has invested an undisclosed amount of money into a delivery service startup called Gopuff, and will become one of its advisors. Gopuff is a service that offers rapid delivery of essentials such as home care, medicine, pet care, office supplies, and beauty and wellness items.

Gopuff operates in more than 1000 cities across the US and Europe, and competes in the market with other delivery platforms such as Instacart. Bob Iger said in a statement, “I believe consumer commerce will be very different in the near future and Gopuff is building the platform to power it.”
