Topping the leaderboard is ride-hailing company Uber which raised<br />
US$1.3bn in a fundraising round led by Softbank in <strong>January</strong> <strong>2019</strong>. The<br />
10-year-old company has grown to become the highest valued private<br />
startup company in the world, with a valuation of around<br />
US$69.9bn. Uber was founded by friends Travis Kalanick and Garrett<br />
Camp almost a decade ago and now, the firm completes around<br />
15mn trips every day. Last year, Uber calculated that it had around<br />
16,000 employees and the San Francisco-headquartered firm is now<br />
present in 65 countries worldwide.<br />
