Hi Guys,
I was going through an article in Economist
I came across the following sentence in that :
"But that is one of the many achievements of Uber, a company founded in 2009 which is now the world’s most valuable startup, worth around $70 billion".
My question is, what is the word "which" used to here modifying?
As far as I know "which" is used post comma as a non essential modifier.
"Which" is also used without a comma to modify the preceding noun or noun phrase.
If "which " is used to modify Uber, doesn't it break the rules?
Please help.
Thanks in advance!

This sentence is wrong on many grounds -
1. "that is one of the...": "that" is a demonstrative adjective and cannot be used without a noun.
2. "which" wrongly refers to 2009.
3. Modifier "worth around $70 billion" is misplaced.

Hi sayantanc2k,
My apologies for not posting the preceding sentence in the first post.
Here's the version with the preceding sentence as well :
"Few companies offer something so popular that their name becomes a verb. But that is one of the many achievements of Uber, a company founded in 2009 which is now the world’s most valuable startup, worth around $70 billion".
So in this case the usage of "that" is justified right?
Anyways, I was told to read Economist on a regular basis to get used to business English. But with such mistakes present, What other sources do you suggest?
