We are Uber. The go-getters. The kind of people who are relentless about our mission to help people go anywhere and get anything and earn their way. Movement is what we power. It’s our lifeblood. It runs through our veins. It’s what gets us out of bed each morning. It pushes us to constantly reimagine how we can move better. For you. For all the places you want to go. For all the things you want to get. For all the ways you want to earn. Across the entire world. In real time. At the incredible speed of now. The idea for Uber was born on a snowy night in Paris in 2008, and ever since then our DNA of reimagination and reinvention carries on. We’ve grown into a global platform powering flexible earnings and the movement of people and things in ever expanding ways. We’ve gone from connecting rides on 4 wheels to 2 wheels to 18-wheel freight deliveries. From takeout meals to daily essentials to prescription drugs to just about anything you need at any time and earning your way. From drivers with background checks to real-time verification, safety is a top priority every single day. At Uber, the pursuit of reimagination is never finished, never stops, and is always just beginning.

1SaleADay.com is one of the fastest-growing online retailers. It is the largest independently owned daily deal site in the US. The site features five new items daily at a deeply discounted rate (up to 90%off retail). Deals are posted every night at midnight and available for a period of 24 hours, or until they sell out. The site has built a broad and loyal following with a high rate of repeat customers, and each nights new deals are greeted with great anticipation and fanfare. CEO Ben Federman launched the company in 2007 from a tiny apartment in Brooklyn, NY with one partner. He now oversees about 200 employees in Miami, FL who all contribute to running one of the 400 most-trafficked sites in the United States. Helping to fuel this rapid growth are three sister sites- Ben’s Outlet, Dynamite Time and Shadora- each offering niche goods to their respective customers. 1SaleADay plans to continue expanding its reach to bring online shoppers drastic discounts on electronics, jewelry, watches, family goods and more.
