Uber was conceived on a snowy night in Paris.
Uber CEO Travis Kalanick and friend Garrett
Camp were stuck outside in the snow and
unable to hail a cab.
They vowed to make a mobile app that allowed
you to push a button and hail a cab. The rest
is history.
Uber started off as a company and brand
about convenience. The idea and its execution
defined convenience. Uber skyrocketed in
popularity and became a global brand.
