Uber’s early days were explosive 💥
Instead of owning cars, Uber connected drivers with riders — like the Airbnb of transportation 🤯
They scaled fast. Within a few years, Uber was in hundreds of cities worldwide, giving people access to rides in minutes.
They introduced services like UberX (cheaper rides with regular cars), UberPOOL (shared rides), and UberEats (food delivery) 🚚
At one point, Uber was the most valuable private startup in the world, worth over $70 billion before it even went public 🤯
But with hypergrowth came controversy.....😔
Uber faced protests from taxi drivers, legal battles in major cities, and internal company drama.
Uber IPO’d (went public) in 2019. The stock was volatile at first, but the company kept evolving — including investing in autonomous vehicles, food delivery, and even freight logistics.
