A look deep inside the new Silicon Valley, from the New York Times bestselling author of The Everything Store
Ten years ago, the idea of getting into a stranger's car, or a walking into a stranger's home, would have seemed bizarre and dangerous, but today it's as common as ordering a book online. Uber and Airbnb have ushered in a new era: redefining neighborhoods, 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, another generation of entrepreneurs is using technology to upend convention and disrupt entire industries. These are the upstarts, idiosyncratic founders with limitless drive and an abundance of self-confidence. Led by such visionaries as Travis Kalanick of Uber and Brian Chesky of Airbnb, they are rewriting the rules of business and often sidestepping serious ethical and legal obstacles in the process.
The Upstarts is the definitive story of two new titans of business and a dawning age of tenacity, conflict and wealth. In Brad Stone's riveting account of the most radical companies of the new Silicon Valley, we discover how it all happened and what it took to change the world.
##An engrossing tale about two of the biggest stars of sharing economy. The history of Uber and Airbnb is more than just epic battles between the incumbents and future, it offers an enticing glimpse at what this new century might really look like.

評分##很久前買來讀瞭一半,現在成瞭員工再翻感覺也不一樣瞭
評分##開始讀的時候,不明白作者為什麼選擇一章寫UBER一章寫AIRBNB,後來慢慢發現這麼安排的優點:可以比較清晰地瞭解兩傢公司在類似階段的應對方法和公司靈魂人物的應對之道。對於矽榖知之甚少,這本書也算是我對矽榖的啓濛讀物瞭。最後的腳注也挺不錯,可以找到很多有價值的信息。
評分##很久前買來讀瞭一半,現在成瞭員工再翻感覺也不一樣瞭
評分##每個公司的起源故事都很有意思,更有意思的是發現這些根本性很不同的産品在做大做強之後不可避免的又變得趨同
評分##201809,這本書的亮點是介紹瞭很多類似公司創業的成功/失敗案例,讓讀者知道創業並不是比誰先有這個idea,更多的是founders的執行力還有天時地利人和。萬萬沒想到Uber和Airbnb的founders其實都是認識的,而且Airbnb的老闆還投瞭A輪Uber。
評分矽榖共享經濟的雙子星Airbnb和Uber,國內無窮的政府管製,國外無盡的抄襲者,Uber玩火的CEO。
評分##hk 誠品
