When I worked at Uber it was painfully obvious that too many of our women employees had to quit to raise kids. I started a childcare insurance company to fix that.
This is an as-told-to essay based on a conversation with Siran Cao, the co-founder Mirza. It has been edited for length and clarity.
I never even realized how little money we had, because somehow, I always had enough to pay for school lunch. My mom could work magic in that way. A crucial component of my team were the support workers on the front lines. They were hourly workers who helped onboard new Uber drivers. Almost 80% were women — many of them were single mothers and women of color.
Many of those women had joined Uber in hopes of riding its initial wave of hypergrowth, but not all of them could grow with the company. We did try to schedule shifts around school pick-up and drop-off time to accommodate this. The platform is really geared towards helping frontline workers — baristas, nurses, teachers, retail floor workers— anyone for whom remote work is not an option.
