FKA Moving Capital We believe that the people who built transformational companies will build the next generation of transformational companies. Uber built teams all over the world to solve the challenges that came with our hyper-growth - we believe that the people that build the world’s most impactful companies learn unique skills and form deep connections with their teammates. Our goal is to help this network build and support the next wave of transformational companies - with this in mind, we help organise Uber alumni meet-ups in various cities around the world and maintain an active Facebook group, Slack group, an investing syndicate and a seed stage venture fund. Our members are early Uber employees that are situated all over the world, with a broad range of experiences in operations, marketplace dynamics, corp-dev, product development, engineering, data-science, international expansion and government affairs.
