Uber has grown rapidly by identifying poorly served transportation markets and developing a platform that provides rides with a simple tap of a button. It leverages smartphones and infrastructure from companies like Google and Apple to precisely locate and connect riders and drivers. Uber's network of on-demand drivers allows it to efficiently match supply and demand in real-time. It has developed various pricing strategies and service offerings to optimize its platform and adapt to different user needs and local markets around the world.

A lot has already been said about Uber. Indeed it seems that a new article about the half-
fascinating, half-scary young giant is published every hour on the internet. So why a study?
It seemed to us that most of current discussions about Uber are driven by ideologies and
belief systems. We wanted to take a step back and just look at it from a business
perspective. What are its secrets? How did it grow so fast? Of course it has unlimited cash,
but isn’t there more to it?
Very bright people have already shared a vast amount of food for thought on the social
and legal impacts of Uber so we won’t be going over these topics here.
Anyhow, whether you want to support Uber, fight it or just understand the world we’re
living in, there is much to learn about this spectacular “coup d’état” in the transportation
world. It’s up to you to make use of this information to serve what you believe is best for
all of us.
Enjoy the ride!

WHAT ARE THE YOUNG GIANT’S SECRETS ?
HOW DID IT GROW SO FAST TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD ?

9. Since its beginning Uber has been behaving like a virus. Wikipedia defines a virus as “a sub-microscopic
infectious agent that replicates only inside the living cells of other organisms.” A virus isn’t necessarily
harmful, it is only defined by its ability so self-replicate and spread fast. In Uber’s case the host organisms
are the millions of cars flooding our cities. Uber is infectinghundredseveryday and taking control of
transportation in our growing metropolises.

Uber’s founding idea dates
back to 2008 in Paris at LeWeb
conference, when Travis
Kalanick and Garrett Camp
couldn’t find a taxi in the cold
Paris winter. Impossible to find
a cab to hail, ordering on a
phone was expensive, and they
couldn’t find the nearby taxi
station.
There are three ways to get a
taxi, and none of them
combines low price,
reliable pickup time and
good experience.

Uber’s core value proposition resides in a simple but ambitious objective: a ride at the
tap of a button. To deliver on its promise, it created a well-designed app that took the
dispatch function out of the black car and traditional taxi markets.

Leveraging smartphone’s sensors, Uber is able to precisely locate, identify and connect every car
and every user to its platform. Smartphones are the indispensable tool to Uber’s success, by
bridging the gap between the digital and the physical worlds.
“In the networked world,
the three most important
things are connections,
connections and
connections”
Marc Andreessen
& Venkatesh Rao
MVP insight: smartphone + car = connected car
An asset-light model
Uber has become a major actor on the connected
car market by simply attaching a smartphone to all
the cars of its fleet. No need to invest billions in
CAPEX when you can leverage existing, customer-
owned assets.
Networks are the new asset

16. Uber created a network of
real-time geolocated riders
and drivers, commonly called
a platform. It gives access to
this network through its app,
in order to efficiently match
demand for transportation
with supply.
Uber: a real-time transportation network

17. As seen in GAFAnomics Season 2, networks
are the winning structure of the 21st century
and are at the core of GAFA’s success.

traditional companies on both revenue
growth and margins.

Networks: 21st century’s winning model

18. Its network gives Uber a structural competitive advantage over traditional taxi
companies. As explained in GAFAnomics Season 2, Uber embraces 4 Superpowers to
orchestrate and optimize its transportation network.
Magnet enterprise
Aggregating and managing very small
units
–
Networked companies are able to detect,
organize and animate very small units of
value. They outsource value creation.
Real-time enterprise
Instantly tuning value
–
Networked companies use real-timedata
feedback to instantly optimizemarket fit and
improve products’ value.
Infinite enterprise
Shooting for the 100% profit consumer
–
Networked companies use highly scalable
software and services to achieve zero cost
delivery once criticaluser mass is achieved.
Intimate enterprise
Hospitality is the norm
–
Networked companies use customer
knowledge to fine-tune and personalize the
experiences they deliver to each customer.
Large-scale customization is at the heart of
their products.
Unlocking four superpowers

19. 19
In the US, cars remain idle 96% of the time. Uber could have bought a fleet of cars to become a
black car service. Instead it structured itself as a platform to aggregate, sell and monetize this
excess capacity by allowing anyone to opt-in and drive people around with their own cars.

Managing cars’ excess capacity
A very similar approach to
Airbnb’s revolution of the
accommodation market:
“Essentially, we’ve built a
platform to facilitate payments,

think hosts are micro-
entrepreneurs and we give
them a hospitality tool kit.”

20. 20
Trust and safety are essential parts of the Uber experience. Could you have imagined riding in a
stranger’s car a few years ago? That’s why Uber introduced its rating system, a concept developped
a decade ago by eBay. But it’s also a smart way to delegate the management of its drivers to users
and maintain the standard of service with more than 3 million ratings gathered everyday.
Uber created a feedback loop by asking riders and
drivers to rate each other after each ride. Drivers with
an average rating below 4.6 are at risk of being denied
access to the platform. Uber doesn’t hold the
reputation, drivers do. And Uber doesn’t fire drivers,
riders do when they give drivers less than 4,6 .
DRIVE WELL OR DON’T
THE CUSTOMER IS KING
Most of the extra-services provided by drivers are not
mandatory. Think about free bottles of water or opening
the door. Even wearing a suit ! They’re “suggestions” to
get 5 ratings. Ratings incentivize drivers to please
riders. Hopefully; riders also behave correctly with drivers
to get a good rating.

21. 21
REACHING LONG-TERM MARKET EQUILIBRIUM
ADAPTING SUPPLY TO DEMAND IN REAL TIME
Uber fixes prices in eachcity based on local data.
Whenever it can, Uber lowers prices to trigger an
increase in demand and decrease drivers’ idle time, thus
maintaining drivers’ hourly rates. In some cities, it cut
prices 5 to 6 times in a 3-year period.
With surge pricing, Uber increases prices in given
areas during excessive demand or low supply:
• Provides an incentive for drivers to flock to empty
neighborhoods while cabs don’t know where the
demand is higher.
• Maintains low pickup time and high utilization in
case of marketstress.
Surge pricing eliminates 2/3 of
unfulfilled requests in a period
of high demand.
REAL-TIME ENTERPRISE
Always priced at the optimum
Uber leverages data to optimize its pricing in real-time and make sure demand and offer
always reach a market equilibrium. Data gathered is relative to rides facilitated, local
transportation offers and users’ price elasticity. Pricing is a tough challenge for Uber: drivers
want to maximize revenues while riders want to minimize costs. That’s the platform dilemma.

22. 22
Uber dispatches one trip every
second in London, optimizing
pickups in real time.
Having thousands of cars is not enough. You need to make sure they’re at the right place, at the
right time. While traditional taxis wait in line expecting for customers to show up at the taxi
station, Uber leverages geolocation data to instantly matches riders with drivers. Thanks to its
powerful dispatch algorithm, it optimizes car allocation to minimize drivers’ idle time and rider’s
waiting time. Reliability is key to Uber’s goal: ”a car at the tap of a button”.
Uber tests its dispatch algorithms with AI
simulations on a 100x100 blocks virtual city.
A strong differentiation from data-blind legacy taxi
systems. Close to 60% of SF taxis are dispatched in
more than 10 min.
In major cities, average pick-up
time is around 3 minutes

Uber constantly adapts its services to fine-tune and personalize the experience based
on customer needs and usage scenarios. Uber develops a wide variety of offers to
target users with different elasticities. For some, reliability is more important, others
value low prices while for some a premium experience is the main selling point.

25. Uber uses highly scalable software and services to achieve zero cost delivery once critical user
mass is achieved. It doesn’t own any of the cars it dispatches, already cutting down many costs
incurred by legacy taxi companies (medallion, car…). In addition, it has automatized all steps of
the taxi experience apart from the ride itself. Uber can scale and grow indefinitely at virtually
no additional cost.

26. Thanks to its network structure, Uber benefits from network effects when it reaches critical mass. A
network effect occurs when a product or a service becomes more valuable to its users as more
people use it. Network effects explain Uber’s exponential growth and raise high barriers to entry for
new comers.

30. In a networked world, markets concentrate around one monopoly. The winning platform is
not the first mover but the first settler: the first that reaches liquidity, a state where there
is enough volume of supply and demand, for transactions to start sparking. In Uber’s
case it means enough drivers and riders to ensure “a ride at the tap of a button” for both.

“ In many cases, the importance of the early adopter tech community can be
overstated. In Uber’s case it cannot. […] Uber was highly active at local-area
tech and venture capital events and provided free rides to attendees. Uber
knew that these attendees were well connected and highly likely to share their
experiences with friends, tech press, and social media audiences after trying

Uber challenged the taxi and black
car market by providing a simple
service: a ride a the tap of button. A
perfect user experience was the core of
Uber’s value proposition.
UberCab became Uber in 2011 and
launched UberBLACK and UberSUV with
an identical value proposition. Later it
launched UberVAN for larger groups of
passengers.
Starting the network: a black car service

In 2012, Uber launchedUberX (UberPOP
in Europe), a taxi-ridesharinghybrid
registeringas a “Transportation Network
Company”, taking the best of both
worlds:
• Non-professional drivers driving their
own car when they want to (they pay for
gas themselves)
• A new source of income for anyone that
is willing to drive
• Lower prices for riders
• Same experience as UberBLACK
By tapping intoprivately owned
excesscapacities, Uber has been able
to exponentially grow its pool of drivers
and decrease price .
Before launching UberX, the number of
Uber drivers had a steady but slow
growth.

UberPOOL enables you to share a ride and
split the cost with another user who is
requesting a ride along a similar route at the
same time. Users can pay up to 50% less.
Drivers gets 2 or 3 rides for the cost/time of
one, and Uber takes a higher 35% fee.

Optimizing further excess

Uber also launched UberCOMMUTE, a
version of UberPOOL dedicated to
commuting to work in its top 3
markets: US, China and India.
95% Of trips could be shared if
riders were willing to wait an
additional 5 minutes for other
passengers.
50% Of Uber rides in San Francisco
are Uber Pool rides. 30M Uber Pool
rides every month in China.
1M Cars could be taken off from
London’s roads according to Travis
Kalanick thanks to UberPool.

In 2015, Uber launched Smart Routes and HOP. These
services are designed for price-sensitive customers
willing to sacrifice time: announcing Uber’s direct
competition with public transportation.
Users request UberHOP rides and the app gives
them directions to their pickup location. Users
share ride to a predefined destination, and walk
the last few blocks.
Uber smart routes is an extension of UberPOOL. It
offers fare reductions to customers if they get
picked up near a smart route. By providing
incentives for customers to rally precise pickup
points, Uber wants to maximize the number of
people per car and therefore continue to lower
prices.
UberHOP is a pilot in Seattle. Smart routes only
exist in San Francisco so far.

In 2014 and 2015, Uber launched
UberEATS and UberRUSH,
respectively a meal delivery service
for restaurants, and a package
delivery service for businesses.
UberEATS is embedded in the Uber
app. While UberRUSH is accessible to
businesses through a dedicated API.
Both services leverage Uber’s existingnetworkof
drivers and dispatch technology.A smart way to
decrease drivers’ idle time and exploit excess capacity
further. Uber leverages its direct access to users through its
app to create new sources of revenues.
UberRUSH is live in SF, NYC and Chicago since 2014.
UberEATS has launched in 15 North American cities, as well
as London, Melbourne, Paris and Singapore.
“If we can get you a car in 5 minutes,

The math seems to add up
Megan Quinn (an ex-KPCB partner) sold her
car and decided to take an Uber anytime she
needed to move around, and realized the
cost of moving in Uber was below the cost of
owning a car.
Cost of owning a car for a year: $10.281
(Parking + Gas + Insurance + Maintenance +
Tolls / parking tickets + amortized cost of car )
Cost of riding with Uber for a year: $4655
“So the magic there is, you basically
bring the cost below the cost of
ownership for everybody, and then
car ownership goes away.”
Travis Kalanick
CEO Uber
Uber’s ambition is to become a substitute to car ownership. In some cities Uber cut prices 5 to 6
times in a two-year period to make its service more appealing to customers and turn them away
from car ownership. In large cities, the cost of owning a car can reach $15.000 per year. The average
US household owns 2.1 cars, with 20% owning 3 or more. Uber’s proposition might find its public!

As Aaron Levie (CEO of Box) puts it, “sizing the market for a disruptor based on an incumbent's market
is like sizing the car industry off how many horses there were in 1910.”
Uber is no longer a cab company, it’s a transportation network. It wants to move everything
and everyone from point A to point B, enlarging its market day after day, and setting a vision for a
world where Uber would replace car ownership. So forget about the taxi market - Uber’s market is
way bigger than it seems!

From network to industry leader

51. 51
With its latest mission statement (“moving bits and atoms”), Uber clearly states its ambition to become
more than a transportation giant: a real infrastructure and a platform where other service providers
can contribute to value creation. Uber is taking advantage of the direct contact and captive attention it
has with passengers during their Uber rides. Indeed, Uber provided the equivalent of 40,000 years of
rides since 2010.
Media distribution channel Customer acquisition channel
Uber Trip Experiences allows users to connect
to their favorite apps during their Uber trip.
Uber gives brands an opportunity to use Uber
riders’ captive attention to push adapted
content based on the time of the day and trip
duration. A smart way to improve riders’
experience.
Uber Offers enables brand to push promotions to
passengers based on their geolocation data. For
example, Starbucks may pay for your ride to their
shop. Offers are targeted and become a new way
for local businesses to reach new customers. For
Uber, it’s a way new way of providing cheaper/free
rides to its riders.
What’s next ? Increasing average revenue per car

52. 52
The ideal transportation network
“We can imagine a perpetual trip – the driver picks up one
customer, then picks up another, then drops one of them
off, then picks up another – the trip just keeps going, and
the driver always has a customer in the car”
Becoming a reality?
Travis Kalanick,
CEO, Uber
What’s next ? The perpetual ride: 24/7, 100% of capacityused
Imagine cars that never stop, a perfectly optimized
transportation network, where resources (drivers,
cars) are used at 100% capacity. To fulfil this dream,
Uber will have to reach a massive scale, to ensure
high liquidity at the local level with maximum
capillarity.
Uber is doubling down on UberPOOL in China and
the US with incentives for drivers.
In San Francisco, Uber has reached a record of 8
non-stop UberPOOL rides.

53. 53
Uber plans to replace its fleet of drivers by a
fleet of driverless cars as soon as the
technology is ready, thus making the rides
cheaper without having to care about
drivers’ revenue expectations and moving
closer to the perpetual ride dream:
• Opened a research center in Pittsburg in
2015, to build its own autonomous cars
• Allegedly pre-ordered 100,000 Mercedes
for when they get self-driving technology.
• Recruited top researchers and executives
from the car industry and Google’s ex-VP
of Engineering
• Holds a strong advantage in the race to
the autonomous car: data about how,
where and when people want to be
driven.
“The reason Uber could be expensive is
you’re paying for the other dude in the car.
When there is no other dude in the car, the
cost of taking an Uber anywhere is
cheaper.”

All over the world, governments are
threatening Uber’s model. How long can

Uber won’t be anything without its drivers.
Will the transportation giant be able to keep
them in its network?
Uber is not the only on-demand actor. It is
challenged all around the world by
growing actors well decided to stop its
growth.
With the promise of “moving away from car
ownership”, Uber hasn’t made carmakers
happy. But they have room left to reinvent
themselves and challenge Uber in the on-
demand economy.
Tech giants are progressively investing
huge amounts to conquer the
transportation market. The war is just
beginning…
Uber has grown to become a transportation
giant in less than a decade, changing the
rules of the game and challenging legacy
actors. But beware of the backfire. On its
way up, Uber has created frustration, fear
and envy from multiple stakeholders ready
to fight for their premises.
Uber threatened from all sides

57. We should've realized
sooner that we are running
a political campaign and
the candidate is Uber
Travis Kalanick
CEO, UBER
Uber vs governments: also a political fight
“

58. With the creation of the “Transportation Network Company” status, Uber has initially leveraged
regulation to create unfair competitive advantages againsttaxi networks for which medallions
could reachup to $1M in cities like NYC. But now, regulation threatens Uber and could be its worst
nightmare. Depending on the city it is dealing with, Uber reacts in multiple fashions.
Retreat
PartnerAdapt Pay
Uber adapts to comply with the
law: in Moscow Uber just
accepts professional drivers and
shares data.
Uber partners with governments to
operate: in Hyderabad it has
promised to train 2,000 drivers and
invest $50M to build headquarters.
Some municipalities decided to
ban some of Uber’s services. In
this case, Uber obeys like in Paris
where it ceased its UberX activity
(aka.UberPop). In some cities like
Austin, Uber is not forbidden but
retreats because policies prevent
liquidity.
Some municipalities like Newark
don’t hesitate to make Uber pay
to operate: $3M upfront and
$10M across 10 years to access
the airport.
Sources: Uber, Fortune, CBS, Le Monde, Wired
Lobby
Globally, Uber is spending millions of
dollars into lobbying. It hires top
profiles in its public affairs
department, like Neelie Kroes, an ex
EU-commissioner for Competition, or
David Plouffe, the ex director of
Obama’s campaign.
Under pressure from governments

A Californian judge requalified a

A serious threat to Uber’s

$100M to settle a similar class
action with drivers.

59. • Determine a distinctive ideology: ultra-
liberal (gig economy), libertarian, objectivist
(T. Kalanick is a big Ayn Rand fan)
• Declare it to the world: Marketing
campaign ”Uber-entrepreneur”
• Demarcate from outsiders through
symbols: black sedans only
• Demonize the other: repeated attacks on
taxi so called “monopolies” and states’
interventions
Uber has created a divide in the public opinion in many cities, where the support and the
opposition to ridesharing services has become intense. In The Culting of Brands, Douglas Atkin, VP
Community at Airbnb explains how brands can leverage cults’ techniques to turn customers into
true believers and it seems Uber has learned the lesson well. The transportation genius has always
been able to count on its users to promote and defend its service against all attacks.
4 steps to turn customers into believers:
Launching many petitions, to seek
support from users against governments
Counting on tech gurus’ support
Uber’s response: an ideology war

Drivers’ mutiny

61. Uber forgot it’s a network
of drivers and not a
network of cars yet
Low prices and pickup times depend on a high supply of drivers: steal its drivers away and Uber’s
market power collapses. Under regulatory pressure from the outside, Uber is now challenged from
the inside, by its own partner drivers. Keeping its drivers inside the network till it gets to the
autonomous car seems like Uber’s biggest challenge.
By trying to please riders with
lower prices, Uber has enraged its
drivers. All around the world, they
have protested against price cuts.
They are also unionizing inside
“The Uber Drivers Network” to
speak of a common voice against
Uber.
In a two-sided market, it’s a
risky move to sacrifice one side
to please the other.
Uber can be challenged by
anyone with a large amount of
funding and a pro-driver strategy
Emerging actors like Gett and Juno are taking on
Uber by developing driver-friendly value
propositions. Gett offers fare guarantees to
drivers. Juno only takes a 10% commission on
rides and reserves 50% of its founding shares to
drivers. Startups like Arcade City leverage the
blockchain to organize a network of driver:
commissions reach 0%.
In a market with supply-side network effects,
if competitors attract your supply,the demand
will follow.

64. Sometimesjust leveraging a disruptive virus’ assets might bring more value than fighting it.
Transportation has become an increasingly crowded market with disruptors adding a new layer to the existing
infrastructures. By plugging to Uber, transportation networks can extend their reach, gain in flexibility, and
solve ”thelast mile problem“ by serving underserved areas. In Paris, around 40% of Uber trips happen before
or after a public transportation trip. Integrating with mass transit actors is crucial to Uber’s survival.
Caltrain & Uber partnership in San Francisco extends
the reach of Caltrain network by providing
UberPOOL rides to and from South Bay station. For
special events, Uber can bring flexibility to the public
transit system.

Competing head-on with an installed virus is usually a very difficult challenge. Because of its
multi-local inherent structure, Uber has to fight hard against local actors in every market it tries to
conquer and usually operates in the context of a duopoly, both actors spending billion of dollars
only to survive. A virtually infinite fight.

In the networked world, 4 types of companies emerge in every market, following the model set out by
the smartphone revolution. The same will happen in the autonomous car market, with actors
positioning themselves in each category. Some try to occupy more than one category.
4 types of companies for one market
These companies build, develop, and lease
physical assets to make, market, distribute, and
sell physical things. They will build the
autonomous cars.
These companies hire employees who provide
services to customers or produce billable hours
for which they charge. They will provide
insurance, repair cars, etc…
These companies develop and sell intellectual
property such as software, analytics,
pharmaceuticals, and biotechnology. They will build
the software that drives the autonomous cars.
These companies create a network of peers in
which the participants interact and share in the
value creation. They will orchestrate autonomous
cars to serve riders.
