The Uber x Rare Birds Business Booster program

At Uber, we know many of the people who drive or deliver with us are working toward something bigger – a business idea, a side hustle, or a long-held dream. That is why we created the Business Booster Program, in partnership with Inspiring Rare Birds: a free, flexible business education and funding opportunity tailored specifically for those earning on the Uber and Uber Eats platforms.

Now in its third year, the program is more accessible than ever – and open to all Uber driver partners and Uber Eats delivery people across Australia and New Zealand.

What is Business Booster?

Business Booster 2025 was a six-month online program designed to help drivers and delivery people develop or grow their business ideas. It included:

  • 8 expert-led masterclasses covering key topics like marketing, finance, strategy, and growth
  • Live Ask the Expert sessions, post-class quizzes and downloadable resources
  • Access to an online learning community to connect with others and share ideas
  • A certificate of completion to support future opportunities
  • The opportunity to enter a pitch competition in Nov 2025 for a chance to win a share of $50,000 AUD in business funding

The chance to pitch to win a share of $50K!

Eligible program participants could submit a 5-minute video pitch online for the chance to win a share of $50,000 in funding to help grow their business.

Competition submissions are now closed.

  • Open to Business Booster participants who complete at least 2 modules.
  • Entries were judged on clarity, business potential, passion, and how well they’ve applied learnings from the program.
