Uber

Uber Technologies Inc. is an online transportation network company headquartered in San Francisco, California, with operations in 528 cities across the world. The company operates the Uber software application, which allows consumers to request car transportation on mobile app.

The Uber was founded in 2009 as UberCab by Garrett Camp and Travis Kalanick. The name "Uber" is a reference to the common (and somewhat slangy) word "uber", meaning "topmost" or "super", and having its origins in the German word über, meaning "above".

Uber's first market was San Francisco and, following a beta launch in May 2010, Uber's services and mobile app officially launched there in 2011. In 2011, the company changed its name from UberCab to Uber.
