To most of the industry and the business experts, the year 2014-2016 was the golden period to enter the market and seek funding as an Uber for X startup. This technical and the technological era would be noted for successful startups, many Uber for X startups that were thriving in those years failed during the years following 2018. 2018 is considered as a year where the Uber actually started to benefit customers and make their life better. 2018 is considered as the year where the on-demand services will be based upon skills required in a professional delivering the services.

This will make your customers leave the app in favor of the new player. Uber for X startups should concentrate on gaining new customers but also keep them on the app with lucrative offers too
