A group of entrepreneurs had a brilliant idea: to market cutting-edge transportation technology and create the innovative service called Uber. This mode of transportation is transforming how the world moves. By seamlessly connecting riders to drivers through its smartphone app, Uber makes cities and towns more accessible—opening up more possibilities for riders and more business for drivers. From its founding in San Francisco in 2010 to its launches in 320 cities and 58 countries, Uber is rapidly expanding its global presence.
And it just got even closer. Uber has recently expanded into the North Shore of Boston. And this expansion could not have come at a better time of year when beaches are packed and finding a parking spot at Good Harbor Beach can be nearly impossible—especially when the sun is shining and the temperature is rising. Or maybe you want to go out to Opus in Salem and have a few drinks with friends and not worry about who is responsible for driving home. Uber is at your service right here in the region. It’s as easy as opening up the app, request a car, and you’ll have your ride curbside in 10 minutes or less.
Whether it’s founding the world’s first person-to-person search engine or developing the premier enterprise content delivery system, the people behind Uber believe that every problem has a solution. You just have to be creative enough to find it. The company went from a niche market in San Francisco in 2010 to its global presence today. Along the way, the company’s principals have actively invested in and advised other passionate startup entrepreneurs. And with the expansion into the North Shore region, Uber continues to carry out its mission to provide transportation as reliable as bringing running water to everyone, everywhere.
Uber is offering all Northshore magazine readers their first Uber ride on the house (up to $20 in value). Sign up here or download the app and enter promo code: BONS2015 when you create your account.
