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.

About #PitchandRun: we meet at 9 am every Mon / Fri at Bluestone Lane @ Chelsea Piers (W 22nd Street level, just across the West Side Hwy). The community was originally launched to make it easy for Founders to connect with Angels and VCs without the pressure of a pitch meeting – and to allow Founders and startup employees to connect with each other. Multiple companies have already raised Seed and Series A rounds from conversations started at #PitchandRun. More importantly, over the 4+ years #PitchandRun has built a community that supports each other in all aspects of life: after 5 runs, we will add you to the 115-person and growing #PitchandRun Group Chat. If you cannot make 5 runs in NYC, great news: there are now permanent chapters in Denver, Los Angeles and Austin – and pop-up runs at many major tech conferences like SXSW and VentureAtlanta.
