AMONG THE NEW YORKER'S BEST BOOKS OF 2022 THE NEW YORK TIMES EDITORS' CHOICE Today PayPal's founders and their former employees are considered by the technology industry to be the most powerful network. Since leaving PayPal, they have founded, funded, or consulted for some of the top companies of our time, including: Tesla, Facebook, YouTube, SpaceX, Yelp, Palantir, and LinkedIn. As a group they are at the forefront of 21st century innovation and entrepreneurship. Their names evoke passions – they are both the subject of admiration and the subject of negative comments. Yet for all their influence, the story of where they started is largely unknown. Before they sparked the commercial Space Race or the rise of social media they were the unknown creators of a makeshift online start-up called PayPal. In their quest to build one of the most prominent companies in the world, they faced stiff competition, infighting, the emergence and spread of online fraud, and the explosion of websites in the first decade of the 21st century. In other words, their success was far from certain. In the book The Founders, award-winning author and biographer Jimmy Soni explores PayPal's tumultuous early days. Through hundreds of interviews and unprecedented access to the company's inner workings, Sonny shows how the seeds for so much of what shapes our daily lives – fast-scaling digital start-ups, non-cash inventions, digital money transfer – were planted before about twenty years. It also reveals the stories of the countless people who didn't make the headlines but played a key role in PayPal's success. our world.
