5. What Is Uber ?
Uber Technologies, Inc., commonly known as Uber, is an American company that offers vehicles for
hire, food delivery (Uber Eats), package delivery, couriers, freight transportation, and, through a
partnership with Lime, electric bicycle and motorized scooter rental.
In the United States, Uber has a 67% market share for ride-sharing and a 24% market share for food
delivery.
Uber has been so prominent in the sharing economy that the changes in industries as a result of it
have been referred to as uberisation.
Uber was originally seen as providing a cost-saving platform that matched car owners with empty seats to
customers going to the same destination—true ride-sharing. The model then evolved, with dedicated
drivers taking customers wherever they wanted.
6. HISTORY
In 2008, Uber was founded as Ubercab, when the co-founders were attending LeWeb conference in Paris.
After Camp and his friends spent $800 hiring a private driver, he wanted to find a way to reduce the cost
of direct transportation. He realized that sharing the cost with people could make it affordable, and his
idea morphed into Uber.
Garrett who really came up with the idea took the lead and started playing around with a couple of ideas,
and engineering a mobile app for the iOS.

toes into other territories as well – from Uber Eats (on-demand food delivery) to Uber Freight
(on-demand trucking).
we will focus on Uber’s core business of ridesharing – its business model
Uber works as a digital aggregator app platform, connecting passengers who need a ride from
point A to point B with drivers that are willing to serve them.
“Passengers” generate the demand, “Drivers” supply the demand and “Uber” acts as the
marketplace/facilitator to make this all happen seamlessly on a mobile platform.
