UBER

I wrote a $25,000 check into Uber. It's worth about $100 million now. That's the power of angel investing.

I invested $500,000 in Uber. Everyone said an actor has no business doing venture capital. That check is worth more than my entire acting career.

Uber gave us their Elevate division because they realized building the aircraft was harder than building the app. We build both.

Uber putting Lime in their app was transformative. When someone opens Uber and sees a scooter option for a 1-mile trip, they take it.

Uber is efficiency with elegance on top.

Uber is a platform. We don't just move people. We move food, packages, freight — anything that needs to get from A to B.

I got into Uber before the Series A. It wasn't about the numbers — it was about watching how people reacted when they used it.

We backed Uber when it was just a black car service for San Francisco techies. Nobody else wanted to write that check.

I invested in Uber because the product felt like magic. You press a button and a car appears. That’s what I look for — magic.

At Uber, I learned that growth isn’t about tricks. It’s about building a product so good that people tell their friends.
