Travis Kalanick (Mobility / Real Estate Tech) at Uber / CloudKitchens — Los Angeles, United States
Travis Kalanick co-founded Uber and grew it from a black car app into the world's largest ride-hailing platform, operating in hundreds of cities globally. He was ousted as CEO in 2017 following multiple controversies. Post-Uber, Kalanick founded CloudKitchens, acquiring commercial kitchen real estate and enabling ghost restaurant operations at scale. A relentless growth hacker and risk-taker, he remains one of the most consequential startup operators of his generation.
