For their third annual time, UberPitch kicked off just this morning all over the world! 

Let me just break it down for you… A group of lucky entrepreneurs have been situated in Ubers everywhere, ready to pitch their ideas and projects to absolute strangers, allowing them to gain more insights, advice and a fresh new mind to their projects.

As a rider, you get to enjoy your ride just slightly more, as you get the opportunity to meet with passionate visionaries, and intelligent business ideas that may just need YOUR input. 

What are people saying about it?

“UberPITCH allowed me to see the potential of businesses that are not usually on my radar. It was a great way to democratize the fund raising process, which often seems far from entrepreneurs reality.

Personally, I’ve enjoyed being able to share my experience with people who have companies different from those I currently work with. I was able to give back to the startup community, while receiving new ideas. It’s really rewarding to meet people wanting to have a positive impact on the world.“

Quite an experience huh?

How did it all work?

Long story short – Uber partnered with ArabNet to give start up warriors a big break by giving them the opportunity of a life time.

Those with good ideas had to submit an application and request a ride previously – and if they were selected… today between midday and 4pm, they ordered a ride for an industry leader to listen to their ideas.

And the best ideas? Might even get the opportunity to be sponsored by Uber to participate in ArabNet’s annual Digital Showcase in Dubai. 

Once you’ve unlocked the UberPITCH ride option

If you were selected, you would have received a code to unlock the hidden ride option, once you request an UberPITCH you would be connected with an industry leader where you will have 7 minutes to pitch your idea and 7 minutes for feedback. 

Rides were also free! 

What a great initiative
