Travis Kalanick

Co-Founder and CEO, Uber Technologies

"A conversation with Uber Co-Founder and CEO Travis Kalanick"

Uber Technologies Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer Travis Kalanick disrupted tradition at the December 1 meeting of the Boston College Chief Executives Club. Rather than delivering prepared remarks for about 20 minutes from behind a podium, the serial entrepreneur sat down for an open-ended question and answer session with Alex von Tobel, founder and chief executive officer of LearnVest.

Takeaway

Fingerprinting

We feel very good about where our background checks are, and feel that they’re more robust than most anything that’s going on out there. Fingerprints are a particularly interesting part of that discussion.

Takeaway

Reliability and Affordability

But our whole goal is—or maybe our mission is—transportation as reliable as running water everywhere for everyone. So a reliable way to get around your city without ever having to own a car.

Takeaway

Uber's Growth

Uber’s growth [scaling up so quickly in five years] has been astronomical.
