If it was originally supposed to do one thing, he probably has it doing something entirely different. Shannon began creating PayPal solutions more than three years ago using his original database- driven PayPal purchase system that integrated with Macromedia Dreamweaver UltraDev. Since then, he has gone on to implement unique fixes for common eCommerce problems using PayPal. He has written several tutorials and articles and has spoken on the topic of using PayPal in new ways. One of the first members of the PayPal Developer Network, he was added to the PayPal Developer Network Advisory Boards on its inception. He also served several terms as a member of Team Macromedia for their web development program Dreamweaver, which he uses in his daily PayPal development. His technical background extends back to the initial Internet boom, when he began picking up simple web design that evolved into web planning and programming using a variety of technologies, languages, and databases. Currently, he manages the PayLoadz Digital Goods eCommerce system that allows merchants to sell digital goods securely with PayPal. One of the first and most successful third-party solutions for PayPal, this system made headlines when it launched Madonna's "American Life" single higher on the Billboard music charts than any previous digital single (and he did it before selling digital music was cool).

  • Transcript Peter Thiel: Escape the Competition (A)
    Transcript Peter Thiel: Escape the Competition (A) PETER THIEL: “The greatest adventure is what lies ahead. Today and tomorrow are yet to be said. The chances the changes are all yours to make. The mold of your life is in your hands to break.” NARRATOR: That was Peter Thiel, reciting “The Greatest Adventure” by J.R.R. Tolkien. Peter Thiel is the co- founder of PayPal, and his unconventional career reflects the adventures of someone who was clearly willing to break the mold. No surprises, then, “The Greatest Adventure” is a poem he has memorized. In this first-ever “podcase,” adapted from the Masters of Scale podcast, Thiel discusses the early history of PayPal with his longtime friend, frequent collaborator, and our host, Reid Hoffman. Hoffman himself is a character in the story. He’s now best known as the Co-Founder of LinkedIn, and an iconic Silicon Valley investor at Greylock Partners. But before that, he served alongside Thiel as PayPal’s Chief Operating Officer. Thiel often refers to Hoffman as PayPal’s “Firefighter in Chief.” A bit of back story might be useful: Peter Thiel initially co-founded a company called Confinity, focused on online payments. Confinity merged with a company called X.com — which was co- founded by Elon Musk. The new company was re-named PayPal. And those founding executives have gone on to dominate the tech industry, both by launching startups and investing in them. Elon Musk went on to found Tesla and SpaceX, for example. Thiel and Hoffman were among the earliest investors in Facebook.

  • Thesis Ebay (EBAY US – Market Cap $61Bn) Is a Company That Is Currently Cheap Due to One-Time Events That Depressed the Stock
    EBAY US Thomas Li Long eBay (EBAY US) Thesis eBay (EBAY US – market cap $61bn) is a company that is currently cheap due to one-time events that depressed the stock. The company generates a tremendous amount of cash (8% FCF yield), management is shareholder friendly, the 2 main businesses have large economic moats and many channels to grow. Multiple catalysts down the next 12-18 months can also quickly increase the returns to investors. eBay is currently trading at 18x EBIT. The combination of great qualities in the business makes the stock a rare find for its price. The underlying sustainable cash flow generator with multiple levers for growth justifies a higher multiple. Business Description eBay is an easily misunderstood business. There is a large consumer facing side, or eBay.com, which internally is known as Marketplace. To the rest of us, we know it as the largest auction site in the world. There are 2 more main divisions in the company, PayPal (technically referred to as Payments) and Enterprise. In 2009, CEO John Donahoe has embarked on a turnaround to change eBay from a online marketplace to a dominant player in mobile transactions and eCommerce, and created eBay Inc. Most investors today do not see past the fact that the eBay is no longer eBay.com but really eBay Inc., a different company from what many of us are used to. Marketplace has defined for most of us what an online auction site is. Most of us are familiar with the business model of online auctions and “Buy-it-now”.

Investors want to own Tesla because Musk thinks outside the box and appears to be July 2017 able to conform reality to his vision of the future. Investors also want to own the stock because they see Tesla as a technology, rather than an automobile, company.

If we can solve sustainable market at a cost of $1.8 billion. Why? Because they see Tesla as a technology company which can help energy and be well on our way to becoming a multiplanetary species with a self-sustaining Tencent in China. civilization on another planet — to cope with a worst-case scenario happening and extinguishing human consciousness — then, I think that would be really good.” Elon Musk, 2015 Musk is an amazingly talented man.

    Enlightened entrepreneurship: the success of Elon Musk Department of Economics & Business Chair of Entrepreneurship, Technology and Innovation Supervisor: Professor Andrea Prencipe Candidate: Mathias Mair ID 180631 Academic year 2015/2016 1 Table of contents: Introduction 1- What is entrepreneurship? 1.1- History of entrepreneurship 1.2- Behavioural patterns in entrepreneurs 1.3- Communication fundamentals in entrepreneurs 1.4- Financing 2- History of Musk’s rise, his life and career 2.1- Early life 2.2- Career beginnings: Zip2 and PayPal 2.3- SpaceX: the multiplanetary dream 2.4- The transportation adventure: Tesla Motors 2.5- The transportation adventure: Hyperloop 2.6- Solar City and Open AI 3- List of Musk’s keys to success 3.1- Main points of his philosophy 3.2- Family, philanthropy and awards 4- Conclusion 5- Bibliography 2 Introduction The purpose of this thesis is to analyse in depth the strategies, methods and actions that allowed Elon Musk to place himself as a top tier entrepreneur. Starting from the true meaning of entrepreneurship, I moved into taking to account the points in common between Musk and what a nowadays entrepreneur needs to be capable of. I followed by underlining the focal achievements reached in his career and what he might have used to get to reach his goals, mostly his personality traits. At last I demonstrated how he affected the culture of this days and how he rewrote the definition of pathfinder in the entrepreneurial world. 1 What is entrepreneurship? Entrepreneurship is defined as the process of starting and running a business in a strategic way in order to make a profit from a product or service.
