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...

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 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

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 front just the same, and I'm like, 'Let's go, guys! Let's do this!'" "These guys, they're like, 'What just happened?' They went to work that morning at a six-person startup, and an hour later, the founder of Uber is now the CEO." 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

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 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'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

Uber's original culture had a value Ben Horowitz still quotes, "meritocracy and toe-stepping." Travis Kalanick kept it at Atoms, under a new name: Ben: "We're here to build. We're gonna do it. We're gonna push as hard as we can, and yeah, you may get your toe stepped on, but you gotta keep going... In some ways it was the core part." Travis: "At Atoms we call it 'The Best Idea Wins.' But the toe-stepping is important, because there's so many people that are not willing to fight for the best idea 'cause they're gonna upset somebody else." "If you don't fight for the best idea, then what idea are you fighting for? You're fighting for the mediocre idea, the politically expedient idea, an idea that's gonna make you less good than if you went for the best idea." "Having everybody oriented towards that is a cultural vibe that helps you win." travis kalanick benahorowitz.eth

"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 on what makes an idea worth betting on: "Sometimes you have ideas. Sometimes ideas come to you. But if it's meant to be your soulmate, you know it when you see it." "Complexity is interesting to me. Things that are not sexy on the surface is also weirdly interesting." "Especially if you can see that it's sexy but people don't understand yet." "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

“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.“ “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.” — Travis Kalanick travis kalanick

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."

Dwyane Wade speaks on how much the 2006 Heat team would party during the season 💀 “We were out in them streets. We were hanging, we were partying. We had guys coming in 6,7 in the morning. We was living in Miami! The same thing the visitors were doing, that’s what guys on our team was doing… Shaq had to be like ‘Riles can you push practice back?’ It wasn’t a team that was so strict. If you come into the year and say these are the things your supposed to do to win a championship, we didn’t do that away from the court. That wasn’t a team I looked at like ‘oh yeah, we gonna win.’ We just so happened to start clicking at the right time… We were building our relationship like ‘to the windowwww, to the wall!’ We were hanging… Miami was on fire. We turned Miami into a whole different culture once we started winning. We were the first set of the Heatles. We had to manage guys enjoying that but also get work done on the court… it seemed like a unserious group away from the game but We had guys they knew how to turn it on, and I got really good” (Via Zach Lowe / DWade)

"I've talked to a lot of entrepreneurs over the years where they're like, 'Oh man, we're just cranking. We're on easy street right now.' And I'm like, 'Dude, you are about to get your ass whooped and you don't even know it.'" "I know that too because I've experienced it myself." "There's actual times when it's easy, but it's because you're not continuing to push...
