Uber said that the median driver salary was $90,766 for UberX drivers in New York, but reporters can't find one driver who made that much (google the slate article for details). I don't think that is really crucial to the success of the company, but it is crucial to my trust of the companies estimates. Groupon or Zynga should teach people that a business model can expand rapidly and make money for a while, or attract enough invetment to appear viable. The question is: will this still be making a lot of money in five years? When they have to expand to less attractive markets? When they have to defend against copy cats? It's not that it isn't a good business, or a clever company. It's just that at $25 bn it has to be a really profitable, really big company for a long time. Maybe.
