Ask HN: Uber for ______
7 points by will_brown on Aug 8, 2014 | hide | past | favorite | 8 comments
Thought this might be a fun thought experiment for HN. Every so often I apply for what I think are interesting legal positions at interesting tech companies/startups most recently was Uber. As a result I began to play around with Uber for ____ ideas. What are some of your Uber for ____ ideas.



Uber for mailboxes.

Product Hunt has a list of current Uber for X products past the idea stage: http://www.producthunt.com/e/uber-for-x


How about Uber for online dating? Single people with no plans on a Friday night could click and get arranged for blind dates (maybe based on some minimal filtering like age range). Restaurants with open tables could even be included into the business model, and pay you to send dates to fill their dining rooms.


Grocery shopping/delivery?

Uber for private airplanes!

Uber for Hookers!


Can't believe it took 5 hours after the OP for this one to show up.
