Some strategies that tech companies have used to become cash-flow positive include focusing on growth and market share, even at the expense of short-term profitability. This often involves heavy investment in product development, marketing, and customer acquisition. Once a significant market share is achieved, companies can then focus on reducing costs and increasing efficiency to become cash-flow positive. It's also common for tech companies to diversify their revenue streams and develop new products or services to increase income. However, each company's path to positive cash flow can vary greatly depending on their specific business model and market conditions.
Question was asked on:
Despite Uber's larger size, Uber only has twice the cash as Lyft. Lyft's market share has doubled since 2015 from 15% to 31%. As both companies battle it out for market share, they've had to spend on driver subsidies and promotional discounts for riders. It's a strategy that has caused both companies to burn through a lot of cash—Uber has reportedly spent over $11 billion since its founding. But this year, for the first time in its history, Uber announced it will be cash-flow positive for the full 2022. While it has become normal to make a loss for extended periods in the tech sector, Uber did so for longer than others.
