Kevin Hart and Mark Cuban both passed on the chance to invest in Uber during its early stages.

Hart dismissed the idea as “ Murderville ,” unable to wrap his head around the concept of strangers getting into cars with other strangers.

Cuban was ready to invest but only at a lower valuation.

Fast-forward to 2024 , Uber ’s success speaks for itself.
