It seems like they're basically just showing random ads to a high volume of people, which typically results in a very low CPM. But on the rides side, their product has a ways to go. Most of Uber's ad revenue is coming from Uber Eats since they can suggest new SMB restaurants to frequent diners and this is a great use case/example. ![]() Dara thinks Uber's advertising revenue could be over $1 billion of revenue next year. I just did a podcast with Emil Michael about Instacart's IPO and we were both impressed at the ad revenue they have been able to generate on what is basically a break even business model otherwise. WOW! That's a big number, and I think sometimes people forget the magnitude and scale that Uber, Lyft, Doordash, etc. Dara says that Uber does over 1 million trips every single hour. So it's really a matter of tackling the IC debate state by state, which will take time and $$ but ultimately only going to get easier as they roll through the country.Enjoyed this recent interview with Dara Khosrowshahi and Kara Swisher Here are a few things that stood out to me:ġ. They don't have any federal support on the labor side (though that could change in a couple years) but remember that Prop 22 passed overwhelmingly in CA (bluest of the blue states). □ Some have pointed to labor disputes as 'Uber's biggest threat', but I wouldn't be too worried here. ![]() So they're more than willing to pay whatever it takes, and couple that with a higher supply of drivers, and Uber has been able to grow, while increasing their margin. But I think the biggest reason why Uber has been able to get profitable is because customers do not have viable alternatives during times of peak demand (would you call a friend to pick you up from the airport these days?!). So consumer demand is strong and steadily growing. ⚡ Uber did 2.4 billion trips last quarter, or more than 1 million trips per hour. Definitely aligns with the complaints we're hearing from drivers about 'too many damn drivers being on the road'. Good for Uber but this is bad news for drivers as more supply means more competition and lower hourly earnings. □ Uber now has 6.5 million drivers and couriers, so supply is at an all time high. Here are a few things that stood out to me: Q3 earnings came out yesterday and Uber reported their second straight quarter of profitability with $221m in net income. I think it's safe to say that Uber is now a profitable company. ![]() #Autority #Automotive #Rideshare #GigEconomy Listen to the full episode wherever you listen to podcasts!
