CEO and founder of Uber Travis Kalanick shares his idea of how we can transport more people in fewer cars.
Travis Kalanick created Uber in 2009 as a local taxi service in San Francisco. But he has been working on the idea of a peer-2-peer service that would link the product to the client, the seller to the buyer for a while before that. While being a student at UCLA, Kalanick created Scour, and shortly after that Red Swoosh — projects both based on file sharing. In the end of 2008, at a tech conference in Paris, Kalanick came up with a new idea. The future billionaire thought it would be handy to just push a button on your smartphone and be able to get a car in minutes. It took him just a year to create and launch Uber after that.
