đ¸The Power of Early Bets: Uberâs First Investors
Back in the early 2010s, a handful of visionaries placed relatively small bets on a company that was just starting to challenge traditional transportation models â Uber. Among them were Garrett Camp, who invested $220,000, and Bill Trenched, who backed the startup through a Boston-based seed fund.
Others, like the Kapor Trust and angel investors such as Jason Calacanis and Scott Banister, saw the same potential and joined early. Some wrote checks for as little as $25,000 â investments now worth hundreds of millions. These individuals werenât just funding a tech idea; they were betting on a revolution in how people move through cities. Their decisions now serve as iconic examples of high-risk, high-reward investing.
Lesson? Vision, timing, and a bit of courage can create generational wealth.
