Life projects
Before Uber, Travis built two companies on peer to peer technology and established his hard earned reputation as a risk taker. With Uber, he’s taken it to the next level.
Travis Kalanick
It doesn't shy away from being frank about times he bent the rules and occasionally fell on his face. But through these stories, his resume shows just who he is as a CEO.
Co-Founder and CEO
Built the largest privately held tech company in the world with a valuation of over $65 billion, all while revolutionizing transportation and outcompeting our challengers. Uber is used over 40 million times a month and has become a fundamental tech product of our time.
Red Swoosh
Co-Founder
Building on his previous peer to peer experience, Red Swoosh raised millions to create a closed P2P network for transferring large media files. He hustled the project, worked without a salary for years, and ultimately sold it for nearly $20 million.
Scour Inc.
Co-Founder
He helped build an enormous multimedia search engine and peer to peer file sharing service revolutionary enough to get investment from a former president of Disney and fearless enough to fight off $250 billion in copyright lawsuits.
