Perhaps the Uber Eats logistics chain? The build tools? The god-knows-what side projects done with all that capital?

- jonathankoren 10y agoIf I wanted to work on Uber Eats, I'd work for Doordash. If I wanted to work on build tools, I could literally do that anywhere else. As far as working on a side project, why work on a side project when you can work where that is a core competency? (And yes, I'd say Uber Eats is a side-project. Everything that isn't directly related to getting a midrange Mazda to pick you up is a side project at Uber.)
