Elon Musk, Amy Rowe Clement, Peter Thiel, Julie Anderson, Max Levchin — names that confuse our imagination. Once these people were unknown creators of an ordinary company that made online payments, and today they are considered
one of the most influential in the technology industry. After the creation of PayPal, they funded and advised the world's leading companies: Tesla, Facebook,YouTube, SpaceX, Yelp, Palantir, LinkedIn, etc. While working, they faced fierce competition, internal disagreements, online fraud, and collapse
dot-coms in the 2000s, however, their success was undeniable. After analyzing hundreds of interviews and documents, the author explains how these people changed our world forever. Thanks to their ingenuity and tireless search, much of what shapes our world today has been created: digital startups, systems without-
cash currency transactions, mobile applications for money transfers.
