We’re excited to announce UberENTREPRENEUR – an initiative celebrating and connecting entrepreneurs and small business owners who drive with Uber. From shoe line creators to cooking instructors, drivers turn to Uber as a flexible way to earn an additional income as they start and grow their small businesses.

Meet driver entrepreneurs on the road.

As part of this initiative, we’ve created unique features to let you know if your driver is an UberENTREPRENEUR. Keep an eye out for a light bulb icon next to your driver’s name once you’ve requested through the app. An UberENTREPRENEUR badge will also be displayed in your driver’s car. We encourage you to ask them about what they do when they’re not behind the wheel.

To bring this initiative to life, we’ve partnered with our friends at Squarespace to put on UberENTREPRENEUR events and help provide tools and support to the entrepreneurs who are their own boss both on and off the Uber platform. Squarespace makes it easy for you to jumpstart a passion project or small business.
