For them, this book is the closest you can come to being a fly on the wall at a successful startup, to learn how it's done. Where did they get the ideas that made them rich? How did they convince investors to back them? What went wrong, and how did they recover? Nearly all technical people have thought of one day starting or working for a startup. What was it like when they were just a couple friends with an idea? Founders like Steve Wozniak (Apple), Caterina Fake (Flickr), Mitch Kapor (Lotus), Max Levchin (PayPal), and Sabeer Bhatia (Hotmail) tell you in their own words about their surprising and often very funny discoveries as they learned how to build a company. Now available in paperback-with a new preface and interview with Jessica Livingston about Y Combinator! Founders at Work: Stories of Startups' Early Days is a collection of interviews with founders of famous technology companies about what happened in the very earliest days. Zero to One presents at once an optimistic view of the future of progress in America and a new way of thinking about innovation: it starts by learning to ask the questions that lead you to find value in unexpected places.ĭownload Founders at Work Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle They will escape competition altogether, because their businesses will be unique. Tomorrow’s champions will not win by competing ruthlessly in today’s marketplace. The next Larry Page or Sergey Brin won’t make a search engine. The next Bill Gates will not build an operating system. But when you do something new, you go from 0 to 1. Doing what someone else already knows how to do takes the world from 1 to n, adding more of something familiar. It comes from the most important skill that every leader must master: learning to think for yourself.
Progress can be achieved in any industry or area of business. Information technology has improved rapidly, but there is no reason why progress should be limited to computers or Silicon Valley. Thiel begins with the contrarian premise that we live in an age of technological stagnation, even if we’re too distracted by shiny mobile devices to notice.
In Zero to One, legendary entrepreneur and investor Peter Thiel shows how we can find singular ways to create those new things.
