This Wednesday during New Orleans Entrepreneur Week (NOEW), Uber is offering a chance for users of the app to request a free 15-minute ride with investors and business thought leaders.
UberMENTOR will be available only through the Uber app, from 12:00 – 2:30pm on March 16.
Individuals who connect with an UberMENTOR ride will be randomly matched with a participating mentor and picked up and dropped off at the same location curbside.
“Every day at Uber we help people move through their cities more safely and efficiently, while also creating a unique opportunity for people to connect along the way. With UberMENTOR, we are excited to bring local entrepreneurs and mentors together through the Uber app,” said Thomas Maguire, General Manager of Uber New Orleans.
