> Like many in my MBA class, I had the choice to accept one of a handful of six-figure opportunities offered by top tech and consulting companies.

Yeah, no.

> So I signed up, and in the first weekend of sharing my car with strangers — roughly three to five hours a night over three nights — I earned $800 net.

That's not a net, car repairs and maintenance add up. This sums up most of his logic.

> I pick when I drive based on personal whims. Sometimes I am driving from north Austin to downtown and I just provide a quick ride to an Uber passenger on my way.

You have a limit of how many rides you can cancel. This does not add up. Nor do all the passengers give you destination prior to acceptance.

How many 'MBA' instances can you fit in an article? This is a basically a PR story on some kid who is burning thought small unverified rounds every other month.

You're spot on. I know of the author of the article (Austin is a small scene), and he is basically an MBA type who has been stuck playing startup the last 4 years. He has effectively made 0 progress in that time and it took over 3 years just to launch the MVP. Think about that...3+ years to launch anything working at all (before that they just had a splash page for years littered with hyperbole). In fact they "launched" quite recently and the product is pretty bad. They're burning through money and time like it's nothing. Several classmates that were involved somewhat early on realized what a joke it was and cut all ties to the thing.

Well, that's completely wrong. He's launched, hit revenue quickly, has taken sizeable outside funding, and is one of the hardest working guys I know.

There's only so much work you can do in a day before you start hitting walls. Some people read, some people jog, and some people drive. At least this way his expenses are covered and it let's him clear his head for awhile.

Also, you seem a bit bitter- like you dropped out of your MBA to work on a failed startup and now you're regretting it...
