Led by Senior Tech Industry Analyst Kerry Wu

Since its founding 8 years ago, Uber has grown from a simple black-car service to the world’s most valuable private company. Its operations span the globe, including not just a range of ride-hailing services but also plays in logistics, trucking, and more.

This research briefing will provide a data-driven view into the acquisition, investment, and research strategy of units across Uber as it navigates legal, reputational, and leadership uncertainties.

We’ll cover the following topics and more:

  • Uber’s investor, financing, and valuation history
  • Key acquisitions and acquisition trends
  • Patents and research activity
  • Forward-looking plays in autonomous driving, flying cars, and beyond
