PYTHAGORAS

Challenges and Obstacles

• Maintain high quality pizza at hyper-fast speed (15 min)

• Limited number of full time couriers

• Unpredictable demand curve

• Limited area of available delivery

• Logistics added an additional layer of complexity

By Integrating the UberRUSH API:

• Allowed expansion across San Francisco

• 100% reliability — “no couriers available”

• Less overhead & positive unit economics

UP SONDER

The Opportunity

• Team identified a lucrative market with high potential

• Consumers didn’t want to purchase their own drones (Ebay, Amazon, etc.)

• Craigslist was the only interim solution — lacked safety, too sparse, and used up too much time

Creating new “Uber for X” businesses

• Able to create a marketplace platform for drone rentals

• Saving time for consumers and ensuring exchanges are secured
