About Uber

In case you don’t know…

Uber is evolving the way the world moves. By seamlessly connecting riders to drivers through our apps, they make cities more accessible, opening up more possibilities for riders and more business for drivers. From their founding in 2009 to their launches in over 400+ cities today, Uber’s rapidly expanding global presence continues to bring people and their cities closer.

About the pitch deck

Garrett Camp released the deck on the 9th anniversary of Uber on his Medium blog.

Since we just passed the ninth anniversary of the idea of Uber (originally UberCab, in Aug 2008), I thought it would be interesting to share the very first pitch deck we created in late 2008. Thank you to the entire Uber team for turning a simple idea into a platform that has improved so many people’s lives 🙂

Fun reading

Redoing Uber’s pitch deck

To explain how to improve pitch decks, I redid their deck entirely in 4 hours. This video will walk through their old deck and how I have changed it.

Uber Pitch deck slide by slide review

The cover slide is fine for the time. There is the logo and a tagline.

You get to look at the slide now and see the left is an iPhone and on the right, that’s what kept dad working (Blackberry).

This is a timing slide.

This is content-wise decent content. There are two blocks and 2 supporting bullet points. Easy to read.

I like that there are specifics, but the specifics aren’t super valuable. I would want to support these claims with charts.
