Biography
Uber chairman Garrett Camp cofounded the ride-hailing startup with Travis Kalanick in 2009.
The Uber mobile phone app lets users request a ride and a driver-contractor is routed to pick them up -- with Uber getting a cut of the fare.
Camp owns about 4% of Uber, which listed its shares on the New York Stock Exchange on May 10, 2019.
Before Uber, Garrett Camp founded web discovery tool StumbleUpon, which he sold to eBay in 2007 for $75 million.
He has backed close to a hundred startups through his incubator Expa Studios.
About
In mid-2015, Camp bought back a majority stake of StumbleUpon and said he would advise its management team.
In addition to working at Uber, Camp is also a founder of startup incubator Expa Studios.
