Look at this man. He got bullied as a kid. Was sued for $250 billion. Then couldn’t get a taxi on a cold night in Paris. So he built a billion dollar company. But then got kicked out of it. Here’s the crazy story of a once illegal business that people use daily: It was 2008 when Travis Kalanick and Garrett Camp stood in freezing cold. They were frustrated, waiting for taxi that never came. That moment lit spark: What if you could summon a car with the tap of a button? Travis wasn’t new to entrepreneurship. He’d already faced failure when his first company got sued for $250 billion. The idea for Uber didn’t come from a business plan. It came from a James Bond movie. And in 2010, UberCab was born in San Francisco. Just months after launch, Authorities claimed what they were doing was illegal. Reports of toxic culture,harassment, and unethical tactics flooded the news. Travis was under fire, but he didn’t back down. He believed that to build a billion-dollar company.
