Less than two years after being tapped to take Uber to its initial public offering destination, Chief Executive Officer Dara Khosrowshahi’s stamp on the company has been branding it as a “platform” — a word that appears more than 700 times in its IPO prospectus.
Khosrowshahi isn’t just trying to look past ride-hailing, he’s also trying to move beyond his predecessor, Travis Kalanick, whose brash leadership frequently landed the company in court or under the microscope, or both.“Some of the attributes that made Uber a wildly successful startup — a fierce sense of entrepreneurialism, our willingness to take risks that others might not, and that famous Uber hustle — led to missteps along the way,” Khosrowshahi said in his letter.
The IPO comes amid an expected surge of listings by Silicon Valley unicorns — startups valued at more than $1 billion — and is likely to be the largest U.S. listing this year and among the 10 largest of all time on U.S. exchanges.
