June 3, Uber CEO Travis Kalanick gave a special address to employees, driver partners and special guests reflecting on the past five years and looking ahead to the future.
Uber is an American international transportation network company that operates the Uber mobile app, which allows consumers to submit a trip request which is then routed to sharing economy drivers. As of May 28, 2015, the service was available in 58 countries and 300 cities worldwide.
Uber was founded as “UberCab” by Travis Kalanick and Garrett Camp in 2009 and the app was released the following June. It raised $49 million in venture funds by 2011.
As he says in the video, “In 5 years, we have gotten from 4 people around the desk to something that is around the world.”
