Uber Technologies Inc. is a multinational company that operates a global platform connecting riders with drivers, and consumers with restaurants and delivery services. Founded in March 2009 as UberCab by Garrett Camp and Travis Kalanick, the company's initial concept was to offer on-demand black car service via a mobile app. It has since expanded to provide ride-hailing, food and package delivery (Uber Eats), freight transport, and other related services. Uber is headquartered in San Francisco, California, and operates in approximately 70 countries and 15,000 cities worldwide.
Dara Khosrowshahi is the current Chief Executive Officer (CEO). In 2025, Andrew Macdonald was promoted to President and Chief Operating Officer, overseeing global operations, including Mobility, Delivery, and Autonomous sectors. Uber has a significant market position, commanding an estimated 71% share of the US rideshare market in 2025. As of February 2026, Uber has a market capitalization of $154.13 billion. Recent news includes Uber's plan to acquire Getir's delivery portfolio in Türkiye and an expansion of its partnership with Adyen for payments services. The company is also focusing on autonomous vehicle technology, with plans to lead in autonomous vehicle trips by 2026. Uber's app offers various ride options like UberX, Uber Comfort, and Uber Black, as well as services like Uber Eats, Uber Freight, and Uber for Business.
