Travis Kalanick

edit

Travis Kalanick is a successful entrepreneur in the areas of transportation, consumer Internet, p2p, and enterprise content delivery. He is currently the co-founder and CEO of Uber, an on-demand towncar service operating in most of the U.S.’s major cities.

Before Uber, Travis founded Red Swoosh, a p2p CDN that he sold for $19mm to Akamai Technologies in April 2007 after receiving $1.7M in funding from August Capital, Mark Cuban, and Crosslink Capital.

Prior companies include Scour, the world’s first p2p search engine where Kalanick also attained the dubious distinction of having been sued for $250 billion.

Today Kalanick invests in and advises kick-ass startups founded by truly awesome entrepreneurs – while he recharges before his next gig.
