Benchmark used death of Travis' mother to oust him: Investor
Uber investor Shervin Pishevar has accused the ride-hailing startup's other investor Benchmark of using the death of Travis Kalanick's mother to oust him as CEO. Terming Benchmark's action to sue Kalanick as "abuse", Pishevar said it was after Kalanick took leave to deal with his family's personal tragedies that Benchmark pushed for his resignation.
