Welcome to the podcast.

I'm your host, Jaden Schaefer.

Today on the podcast, we're talking about a company called Wabi that has just raised a billion dollars.

They partnered with Uber.

They're getting into robo-taxis.

It's an autonomous trucking company.

So today on the podcast, I want to break down how they got into this $750 million over...

subscribed, Series C, a lot of other crazy stuff that happened.

And they also got another $250 million from Uber.

We're getting into all of that, how they're able to raise it, what they're doing, why they're different, and what the competitive landscape looks like for some of these autonomous trucking and driving companies.

Before we get into it, I wanted to mention, if you want to build tools without knowing how to code, I'd love for you to go check out AIbox.ai, my own startup, where you can describe any tool or workflow that you do and have it link together different AI models, input prompts, and automatically build you a tool that you can use over and over again to help automate your tasks.

In addition, get access to over 40 different AI models if you want to chat with them, like ChatGPT, 11 Labs, Anthropic.

Audio, image, text, tons of amazing models.

It's 20 bucks a month.

You get access to all of that.

So you can go check out AIbox.ai.

All right, let's talk about what's happening with Wabi.

Something that's interesting to me with the Wabi story, of course, you know, a billion dollars raised is absolutely incredible.

A partnership with Uber is incredible.

And I think lots of times you'll see like a partnership happen first and then you go raise the money after.
