Uber has relaunched its Business Booster program for 2025 in collaboration with Rare Birds to support entrepreneurship among driver partners and delivery people in Australia and New Zealand.
The program offers free expert business education and grant funding opportunities to individuals earning through Uber and Uber Eats platforms in the region, with access available until November 30, 2025.
Participants can engage in online masterclasses covering various business topics, interactive sessions, quizzes, downloadable tools, and a community platform, receiving a certificate of completion at the program's end.
A pitch competition with AUD $50,000 in grant funding is opening in November, allowing entrants to submit videos for a chance to win prizes and showcase their business ideas.
Success stories from previous cohorts highlight the program's impact, such as entrepreneurs like Steve Blain and Suraya O'Brien who utilized the support to launch successful ventures.
The Business Booster program is open for registration until November 30, 2025, and eligible individuals can participate by registering through the provided link or the Uber Driver app.
The pitch competition will open on November 1, 2025, with winners being announced in late January 2026, and entrants must complete at least two learning modules to qualify.
Uber's investment in empowering its earners through programs like Business Booster demonstrates its commitment to fostering entrepreneurship, financial independence, and personal success.
Uber encourages individuals to take advantage of the program, providing tools and opportunities for aspiring entrepreneurs to bring their business ideas to life.
The program serves as a platform for drivers and delivery people to access valuable business education, funding support, and networking opportunities to kickstart their entrepreneurial journeys.
