Description
Tracing the rise of PayPal and the broader Silicon Valley ecosystem, this book follows the founders and early architects whose ambition, risk-taking, and networks helped turn ideas into enduring companies. Through candid, high-level storytelling, it connects the personal journeys of key figures—alongside the training and backgrounds that shaped their thinking—to the social and institutional forces that accelerate startup success. Themes of social capital, human capital, and the power of relationships in technology’s most influential circles run throughout, offering insight into how talent is cultivated and how exclusionary patterns can take root. Written with the momentum of a narrative history and grounded in the realities of entrepreneurship, the book illuminates what it really takes to build—and what it costs to build in—Silicon Valley.
