Travis Kalanick on starting over after Uber: "I acquired CloudKitchens, partnered with a buddy of mine, Diego. There were six people in the company that I acquired." "You gotta think, the last all-hands I did had 20,000 people. The next all-hands I did had six. And I stood in... show more

Travis Kalanick on the Uber Series B that got away: "I'm never in a place where I'm negotiating with somebody where I'm here and they're here, and we meet in the middle. I'm always saying, it's at least this, and it can go up." "It's a little bit crass, let's just say, but that's how I was wired back in the day." "I had a high momentum deal. It went all the way to the top. I auctioned it, cleared the market, and the bottom came out from it." "It was super awkward and weird. You lose credibility in that moment. And I built it back up." travis kalanick benahorowitz.eth Erik Torenberg

Travis Kalanick on the Uber program that had to be renamed: "We would recruit the drivers on Lyft to bring them over to Uber, so that it was hard for Lyft to build supply." "We would aggressively do it, and we had a program for it internally, which we called shoplifting." "Then I had antitrust training. At the time I'm this small startup kid. I'm like, 'Antitrust? What the hell is that? I can't wait to have that problem.'" "They're like, 'Look, the way you call projects, it has to be appropriate for a 10-year-old basketball team.'" "So it went from shoplifting to the North American Championship Series. We called it the NACS." travis kalanick benahorowitz.eth Erik Torenberg

Travis Kalanick and Ben Horowitz on the cultural advantage to building in stealth: "There's a humility thing to it, an anti-fame thing. Everybody in your company gets fulfillment from the work they do every day, not because they're gonna get famous." "You start making decisions based on external validation versus internal correctness. I wanted to build without worrying about what The New York Times was saying." travis kalanick benahorowitz.eth Erik Torenberg

Ben Horowitz on what made Travis different as Uber scaled to thousands of employees: "There was nobody in Uber that didn't feel Travis. You talk to people there and they all refer to him. This company was, what, 10,000, 20,000 people? And everybody is like, oh yeah, we're in the Travis review, or when I talk to Travis." "To have that kind of presence at that scale is something not a lot of founders can do at that kind of turn-up intensity." "If you look at the way he thinks about problems, confrontations, getting out of a hole, how do you get to the future, we're talking about one of a very, very few founders that exist in reality." benahorowitz.eth travis kalanick

Travis Kalanick says founders should date ideas before committing to them: "I have lots of ideas all the time. I'm an idea factory. But other people have great ideas, too." "I like to say, you go out on a date with the idea. Was it a good date? Did it go well? How did you and the idea get along?" "Who you are is going to be a big part of which idea works for you... Be in touch with who you are, and then when the right idea comes your way, you just know." travis kalanick w/ David Senra

Travis Kalanick on the regulatory fight entrepreneurs face today and faced 150 years ago: "Once the bits start controlling atoms in the physical world, the regulators are in the game big time." "When in the past have we seen something like this?" "If you start studying the Second Industrial Revolution, there are so many parallels between the Carnegies, the Rockefellers, the Fricks, the Fords." "What those guys had to deal with in that massive rapid change." "There's a very interesting parallel to what's happening, slash about to happen now." travis kalanick benahorowitz.eth Erik Torenberg

Travis Kalanick's rule for pacing a company's ambition: "I'm constantly creating problems. 'Hey, let's do Uber in China.' And you don't have a full understanding of that problem when you create it. If you create a problem, you have to solve it." "I have this framework I call the meta problem. The derivative of your problem creation must be less than or equal to the derivative of your problem solving." "If it's not, you have a real problem. You're underwater." "You're guessing at what your capacity is to solve problems, and you're guessing six months, 12, 18 months ahead. When you get it really wrong, you must stop all problem creation so that you can get back above water." travis kalanick benahorowitz.eth Erik Torenberg

Travis Kalanick showed up to fundraise for several stealth companies at once. Ben Horowitz only needed to check one thing: Ben: "The other thing that I learned was he was still Travis. He hadn't turned into... He wasn't living his best life. He wasn't doing that. I was at conviction very fast." Travis: "We actually had separate companies going. So when I went to do the fundraise, I showed up at a16z like the guy with a trench coat with a bunch of watches saying, 'You want a watch? Which watch would you like? I got lots of stuff. Do you want some food stuff? I've got some mining stuff.'" "They're like, 'We just want the stuff.' And we heard that from the first few people we talked to... I had to merge separate entities with different investors and put it together." "You see some of the things with Elon, and he's starting to put the pieces back together... He was managing five or six or seven different companies. So I was really trying to put it together under a single roof." benahorowitz.eth travis kalanick

Travis Kalanick on making meal delivery as cheap as groceries: "Can you make the preparation and delivery of a quality meal so efficient that it approaches the cost of going to the grocery store?" "If it does, you do to the kitchen what Uber did to the car." "In 20 years, there will be a suite of robotics that will make higher quality meals, they will be doing a better job than any of us could do." "We are going to have autonomous burritos. Boxes on wheels that hold food at temperature that come to your house." "All of the sudden you've got an $8 or $10 meal that's delivered to you all in." travis kalanick benahorowitz.eth Erik Torenberg

Travis Kalanick says all his employees' families thought they were in the CIA while the company was in stealth "We went stealth on this company eight years ago." "I had a whole strategy, like a deck that I would teach with my leadership team, and we called it "be uniconic," and we worked our asses off to be unknown." "So up until a few months ago, I had thousands of employees. Not a single one of them was listed on LinkedIn." "Think about that. How f*cking crazy is that? That is one of the weirdest things of all time." "All my employees' families thought they were in the CIA." "But what happened was, at the end of my time at Uber, the world was getting weird, business became politics, and you were starting to make decisions based on what the New York Times was going to say tomorrow. And I just wanted to wake up in the morning and build."

Travis Kalanick on how CloudKitchens stayed stealth for years: "The media doesn't want to cover a story because it's so hard to discuss a thing that has a gap a few years before it." "It's easier to be stealth over time because even if somebody tries to leak, nobody even knows what to do with it." "We did crazy stuff. People know it as CloudKitchens in the US, but it's Cocinas Ocultas in Latin America." "We have Kitchen Valley in Korea. We have Flash Kitchen and three other names in China. We have Foodstars in London. I think it's Kitchen Park in the Middle East." "It was very hard to connect the dots." travis kalanick benahorowitz.eth Erik Torenberg

"That's where the sparkle in your eye, you kinda go, 'You don't see what I see, and I'm pretty sure I'm right'. And that's the fun part." travis kalanick benahorowitz.eth Erik Torenberg

Travis Kalanick on the physical world as an atoms-based computer: "The vision for digitizing the physical world for me started at Uber. Treating atoms like bits started at Uber. It was sci-fi at one point. You would touch glass and a car would come to you." "CPU manipulates bits. What manipulates atoms? That's manufacturing. Storage stores bits. What stores atoms? That's real estate. Network moves bits from point A to point B. What moves atoms? That's transport." "That 10,000 square foot facility, I call it a 10,000 square foot semiconductor. It's a 30-core processor, 30 kitchens. They're computing atoms, not bits." travis kalanick benahorowitz.eth Erik Torenberg

Ben Horowitz says the difference between a great idea and a great company is the entrepreneur: "If you look at Tesla, what you would see is big oil, big auto, big government, were never going to let that happen." "They would kill you. But the reality is, Elon Musk, he's hard to kill. He by himself kind of decarbonized the American auto industry, which is unbelievable in retrospect." "If you listen to the politicians now, they're like 'oh, he didn't build Tesla, he just struck a gold mine and is pulling the gold out, all the people built it.'" "Why didn't all those people build another Tesla? Because there's only one non-fungible, very rare person in that equation who could do that. That's why there's only one SpaceX." travis kalanick benahorowitz.eth Erik Torenberg

"No matter where you are as an entrepreneur, the talent game is the game." "When you multiply the industries by three, we're back in the flow. And because we were stealth for so long, we weren't in the flow. We were cold calling everybody."

Travis Kalanick: “I was running a $70 billion company the way somebody who thought he was going to starve next week would run it." "Every decision I made at Uber, I defend to this day. Never had chalk on my shoe.“ “The problem was I ran too close to the line in too many situations. When you're big and important, the scrutiny and expectation is that you don't run that close to the line, even if it's correct. That is a thing I definitely did not understand.” “It comes from what I did before Uber. First four years, no salary, ran out of money several times, super grind, lose all friends. The non-luckiest entrepreneur journey of all time.” “It was so hard that I had to be epically precise and hardcore just to pay the bills and go to the grocery store next week. And that precision and intensity made Uber what it was.”

Business had become politics, and we didn't know it... If it bleeds, it leads, right?" "Now the media landscape is like, 'yeah, you don't have to talk to those guys.' You can go and talk to a David Senra. You can go and talk to Joe Rogan or name your guy, and you can say what you need to say." "Elon buying Twitter is the beginning of us being able to speak our minds and for disagreeing to not be illegal. That's a big deal. We should all thank Elon for that." "I want to build. I want to not think about what The New York Times is writing when I make decisions about what I build. I had to emulate what it's like being a capitalist in Russia... and that's what I did for eight years." travis kalanick
