Uber was once known as simply a black car service,erotice اÙلام powered by smartphones. Now, it's known for a toxic workplace culture, among other scandals.

The 25 slides describes UberCab's original vision to disrupt the taxi industry and private car services, complete with pictures of Blackberry phones and a Lexus.

Uber is one of the most valuable startups in the world at about $69 billion. Recent moves by investment banks may be bringing that estimate down, according to The Wall Street Journal.
That makes the valuation and the worst case scenarios in the first pitch deck laughable.

It's far from profitable, however. Uber lost $2.8 billion last year, excluding its China business, and more than $3 billion if now shutdown China operations are included.
It's far from the worst-case scenario. Sure, it probably continues to be a "time-saver for San Francisco based executives," but it's also a service used in more than 700 cities by more than 40 million monthly riders, the company said in October last year. In June, Uber completed its 5 billionth trip.

At the time, the founders were looking to raise "a few million" and build a "small office" in San Francisco. Now, Uber employs more than 17,000 people all over the world while simultaneously supporting thousands of contractors in the new gig economy.
As to what's next? Uber is seeking to hire a new CEO to replace cofounder Travis Kalanick, who was ousted in June.
