A pesar de toda su influencia, la historia de los inicios de esos 'fundadores' no ha sido apenas contada. En su libro, Jimmy Soni explora los primeros días turbulentos de PayPal. Con cientos de entrevistas y acceso sin precedentes a miles de páginas de material interno, muestra cómo las semillas de gran parte de lo que da forma a nuestro mundo actual (empresas emergentes digitales de rápido crecimiento, las criptomonedas, transferencia de dinero móvil) se plantaron hace dos décadas atrás. /// National Bestseller * New York Times Editors' Choice * Financial Times "Books to Read in 2022" Today, PayPal's founders and earliest employees are considered the technology industry's most powerful network. Since leaving PayPal, they have formed, funded, and advised the leading companies of our era, including Tesla, Facebook, YouTube, SpaceX, Yelp, Palantir, and LinkedIn, among many others. As a group, they have driven twenty-first-century innovation and entrepreneurship. Their names stir passions; they're as controversial as they are admired. Yet for all their influence, the story of where they first started has gone largely untold. Before igniting the commercial space race or jumpstarting social media's rise, they were the unknown creators of a scrappy online payments start-up called PayPal. In building what became one of the world's foremost companies, they faced bruising competition, internal strife, the emergence of widespread online fraud, and the devastating dot-com bust of the 2000s. Their success was anything but certain. Described as "an intensely magnetic chronicle" (The New York Times) and "engrossing" (Business Insider), The Founders is a story of iteration and inventiveness--the products of which have cast a long and powerful shadow over modern life. This narrative illustrates how this rare assemblage of talent came to work together and how their collaboration changed our world forever.
