  • 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”.

  • Elon Musk! He Is a Remarkable Visionary and Entrepreneur
    share, investors clearly own Tesla for its anticipated earnings in 2020 and beyond. Aside from valuation, Bradley, Foster & Sargent, Inc. another potential problem is Tesla’s future profitability without government subsidies and tax credits. Quarterly Market Commentary Should Investors Buy Tesla at the Current Price? In our view, there is only one reason to own Tesla at this extremely rich valuation. And that reason is Elon Musk!

  • Enlightened Entrepreneurship: the Success of Elon Musk
    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.

  • Elon Musk: the High-Stakes Gambler of Technological Capitalism
    Elon Musk: the high-stakes gambler of technological capitalism by Arnaud Saint-Martin The career path of SpaceX’s CEO traces the contours of new technological capitalism. However, while Elon Musk is often hailed as a revolutionary and visionary entrepreneur, he also relies on traditional business strategies. Elon Musk is part of the select club of entrepreneurs who aim to change the world. The co-founder of Paypal, CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, and Chairman of Solar City as well as a range of other start-ups and projects (Hyperloop, Neuralink, Boring Company), the billionaire regularly makes the headlines, generating fascination and exasperation in equal measure. Portraits and biographical sketches of Musk tend to showcase and play with clichés and expectations, but also either his positive attributes or conversely a rejection of everything he supposedly stands for. Musk is presented as the face of a very common cultural trajectory in Silicon Valley. It’s all there. Musk's story is that of the metamorphosis of a ‘nerd’ born in South Africa who progressively made his dreams come true in North America, where he emigrated at the age of 17; of a science-fiction fan and video gamer turned entrepreneurial ‘genius’; of commercial savvy combined with high-tech hubris, but also of the spontaneity and obstinacy of a forceful man capable of realising dreams beyond the reach of ordinary people, the poster boy for ‘free enterprise’; of the self-assertion of a public figure high up in the world ranking of billionaires,1 part of the pantheon of pop culture ‘superheroes’, 2 the ‘captain of 1 Depending on stock market valuations, particularly of Tesla, Musk’s personal fortune stands at around 20 billion dollars.

  • NFAP Policy Brief: Immigrants and Billion Dollar Startups, March 2016
    NATIONAL FOUNDATION FOR AMERICAN POLICY NFAP POLICY BRIEF » M A R C H 2 0 1 6 IMMIGRANTS AND BILLION DOLLAR STARTUPS BY STUART ANDERSON EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Immigrants play a key role in creating new, fast-growing companies, as evidenced by the prevalence of foreign- born founders and key personnel in the nation’s leading privately-held companies. Immigrants have started more than half (44 of 87) of America’s startup companies valued at $1 billion dollars or more and are key members of management or product development teams in over 70 percent (62 of 87) of these companies. The research finds that among the billion dollar startup companies, immigrant founders have created an average of approximately 760 jobs per company in the United States. The collective value of the 44 immigrant-founded companies is $168 billion, which is close to half the value of the stock markets of Russia or Mexico. The research involved conducting interviews and gathering information on the 87 U.S. startup companies valued at over $1 billion (as of January 1, 2016) that have yet to become publicly traded on the U.S. stock market and are tracked by The Wall Street Journal and Dow Jones VentureSource. The companies, all privately-held and with the potential to become publicly traded on the stock market, are today each valued at $1 billion or more and have received venture capital (equity) financing. Among the key findings: - The research finds that 51 percent, or 44 out of 87, of the country’s $1 billion startup companies had at least one immigrant founder.
