The Upstarts
Description Ten years ago; the idea of getting into a strangers car; or walking into a strangers home; would have seemed bizarre and dangerous; but today its as common as ordering a book online. Uber and Airbnb are household names: redefining neighbourhoods; challenging the way governments regulate business and changing the way we travel.
In the spirit of iconic Silicon Valley renegades like Steve Jobs and Bill Gates; a new generation of entrepreneurs is sparking yet another cultural upheaval through technology. They are among the Upstarts; idiosyncratic founders with limitless drive and an abundance of self-confidence. Young; hungry and brilliant; they are rewriting the traditional rules of business; changing our day-to-day lives and often sidestepping serious ethical and legal obstacles in the process.
The Upstarts is the definitive account of a dawning age of tenacity; creativity; conflict and wealth. In Brad Stones highly anticipated and riveting account of the most radical companies of the new Silicon Valley; we find out how it all started; and how the world is wildly different than it was ten years ago.
