The next Bill Gates will not build an operating system. The next Larry Page or Sergey Brin won’t make a search engine. If you are copying these guys, you aren’t learning from them. It’s easier to copy a model than to make something new: doing what we already know how to do takes the world from 1 to n, adding more of something familiar. Every new creation goes from 0 to 1. This book is about how to get there.
Review:
Peter Thiel has built multiple breakthrough companies, and Zero to One shows how.’ - Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX and Tesla
‘This book delivers completely new and refreshing ideas on how to create value in the world.’ - Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook
‘When a risk taker writes a book, read it. In the case of Peter Thiel, read it twice. Or, to be safe, three times. This is a classic.’ - Nassim Nicholas Taleb, author of The Black Swan
About the Author:
Peter Thiel is an entrepreneur and investor. He started PayPal in 1998,
led it as CEO, and took it public in 2002, defining a new era of fast
and secure online commerce. In 2004 he made the first outside investment
in Facebook, where he serves as a director. The same year he launched
Palantir Technologies, a software company that harnesses computers to
empower human analysts in fields like national security and global
finance. He has provided early funding for LinkedIn, Yelp, and dozens of
successful technology startups, many run by former colleagues who have
been dubbed the “PayPal Mafia.” He is a partner at Founders Fund, a
Silicon Valley venture capital firm that has funded companies like
SpaceX and Airbnb. He started the Thiel Fellowship, which ignited a
national debate by encouraging young people to put learning before
schooling, and he leads the Thiel Foundation, which works to advance
technological progress and long- term thinking about the future.
