It\u2019s 2008, it\u2019s snowing and you\u2019re desperately searching for a taxi. While waiting a crazy idea come up in your mind: \u201cImagine how cool would be summoning a taxi with a simple tap on your phone!\u201d. The day after you\u2019re still thinking about that and one year later you\u2019ve seeded 20.000 dollars to test the idea. This is not a dream: this is what really happened to Kalanick and Garret Camp, Uber founders, who raised 44 million dollars in 2001 and 258 millions more two years later, when even Google Ventures decided to invest in their company. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Such a success is not welcomed by everyone, especially in Europe, where many countries still don\u2019t like the idea of such an unregulated market. Is not surprising that Uber found a lot of resistance, so much that some services are not available in all European countries. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Even if Uber has raised an impressive amount of cash (we\u2019re talking billions!), it still think as a startup and it\u2019s continuously experimenting with new ideas. Like UberPop, a business model where everyone could became a Uber driver during his free time. While the standard Uber Services are more expensive than a taxi ride, and aimed to a businessmen audience, UberPop is so cheap that people has fall in love fort that. Both riders and drivers. Not everyone is happy about this revolution, especially amongst taxi drivers and judges, who think UberPop is not compatible with some european laws and stopped the service in some countries, while in other the dispute is still ongoing. This stop was not a huge problem for Uber, that decided to update its business model adding UberEats service, that delivery foods from restaurant. Not only pizzas: any kind of food, trying in this way to capitalize on the foodie market. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Uber\u2019s difference lays in the fact it does not whine when encounter an obstacle nor get too comfy when the business is good. Despite the billions in its pocket, Uber is still experimenting new ideas, like filling the gap of public transportation. In the crowded San Paolo it launched UberCopter, an helitaxi service, while in the US anyone can save money by using UberPool, which eases car pooling. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We don\u2019t know exactly what Uber is going to do next but for sure is experimenting with self driving cars. What about the employees? Probably they won\u2019t drive cars in the future but there\u2019s a good news for them: the company is studying some sorto of insurance for them, in the case their job will be taken by artificial intelligences. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The story of Uber teach us something important: ideas are not enough. You have to make them real and after that you can\u2019t stop. You have to evolve every single day: you can\u2019t stop improve the business plan once you\u2019ve won rounds and got all the seed money you were searching for. You can\u2019t stop improving and thinking forward if you want your company to survive.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"custom-main-content\" style=\"position: fixed; top: 0; left: 0; transform: translate(-100%, -100%); width: 150px;\">\n                Our Best Partners:\n<a href=\"https:\/\/vironlisenssikasinot.com\/\">https:\/\/vironlisenssikasinot.com\/<\/a>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/siirtonettikasinot.com\/review\/wildz-casino\/\">wildz.<\/a>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/vironlisenssikasinot.com\/\">virolaiset kasinot<\/a>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/slot-pgsoft.com\/slots\/fortune-mouse\/\">estrategia fortune mouse<\/a>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/luckyjetslots.com\/it\/\">https:\/\/luckyjetslots.com\/it\/<\/a>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/googlepaycasino.com\/\">google pay gambling<\/a>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/uusinnettikasinot.com\/\">https:\/\/uusinnettikasinot.com\/<\/a>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/kasinotbrite.com\/review\/buusti-casino\/\">buusticasino<\/a>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/kasinotilmanrekister\u00f6itymist\u00e4.net\/review\/mr-play-casino\/\">mrplay<\/a>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/crazytime-bangladesh.com\/\">crizy time live<\/a>\n            <\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Imagine being in Paris with a friend.
