This wasn't particularly insightful. "solve a real problem", "listen to customers", and "be accessible to your market" you could replace Uber with Company X. A more specific analysis would have been interesting.

Agreed - but up until now what has been able to compete with cab companies - and many people who don't live in a metropolitan area have yet to hear about uber or what makes them different from just a cab - or them thinking that it's someone's own private vehicle.

When I tell someone who isn't from an Uber-city about Uber - they lose their minds by how awesome is seems.

My experience has always been at least a 9/10 with them.
