It’s been a tough month for alternative cab service Uber, but investors see some major upside.
A fresh funding round for the fast-growing startup could give Uber a valuation between $35 billion and $40 billion, according to a report today from Bloomberg.
That round would follow the hefty $1.2 billion raise Uber announced this past June.
Word of a new round for the San Francisco startup came earlier this month. The Financial Times reported that Uber was working to raise $1 billion. Today’s Bloomberg report pegs the new round at “at least $1 billion.”
