The Founders: Elon Musk, Peter Thiel and the Company that Made t

This book is so fun to read. It tells you the story of the "paypal mafia" and how they are the foundation for everything what came after. A must read if you are a tech founder!

Have just started reading. But only a few pages in I can tell this is going to be a really good book

Great story telling and a fabulous insight into Paypal’s early years and up to the merger with eBay. Soni turns the book into an absolute page-turner and gives a clear picture of the work ethic (or work obsession) at the company.

I couldn’t put the book down! Jimmy Soni’s well-researched and well-written epic tale of PayPal is fascinating! Soni delves into the minutia of what it takes to get a new company off the ground from technical snafus to the ubiquitous Russian hackers. It is a must read for anyone starting a new company and anyone in banking (hint: brick and mortar banks are even more incompetent than you thought). Throughout the ups and downs and endless drama the story is riveting and deserves to become a movie. Thank you Mr. Soni! Your research and writing skills are exceptional!

The time, the people, the issues have all been captured brilliantly making it a great read. Every page and chapter unfolds a fascinating series of events culminating in the creation of a groundbreaking product. Truly inspiring and awe-striking.
