The Founders: The Story of Paypal and the Entrepreneurs Who Shaped Silicon Valley

內容簡介

內容簡介 引領美國科技重鎮矽谷全球知名創業家介紹他們定義了現代世界，而這段經歷定義了他們深入了解 PayPal 及其創始團隊的起源——被稱為「PayPal Mafia」的 Elon Musk、Amy Rowe Klement、Peter Thiel、Julie Anderson、Max Levchin、Reid Hoffman 以及許多其他人，他們的故事從未被分享過。 Today, they’re referred to as the "PayPal Mafia. " Out of the founding employees of PayPal have come billionaire start-up executives, award-winning film producers, and high-ranking government officials. Collectively, they constitute the most influential network in Silicon Valley, responsible for forming, funding, or advising two decades worth of major technology companies from SpaceX to Facebook, YouTube to Yelp, Palantir to LinkedIn, Pinterest to Airbnb, and many more.Yet, for all their influence today, the story of the company where they first cut their teeth has gone untold. Before they became a "mafia, " they were the unknown, uncertain creators and employees of the online payment company PayPal. In The Founders: The Story of PayPal and the Entrepreneurs Who Shaped Silicon Valley, award-winning author and biographer Jimmy Soni explores the earliest venture of some of today’s foremost business titans-including many individuals who have been left out of the front pages and banner headlines.Based on hundreds of interviews and with unprecedented access to thousands of pages of never-before-seen material, Soni’s narrative digs deep into the founding days of a company whose earliest employees have changed how we use the internet and technology today. It is a story of sweeping, nail-biting entrepreneurial success-the definitive account of how a generation of technology founders came to learn and practice their craft. Through their fight for survival during the dot-com’s turn-of-the-century bust, the founders of PayPal not only built a company that still exists two decades later, but also created a template for entrepreneurship in the 21st century."
