Description

Zero to One is about how to build companies that create new things. It draws on

everything I’ve learned directly as a co-founder of PayPal and Palantir and then an

investor in hundreds of startups, including Facebook and SpaceX. But while I have

noticed many patterns, and I relate them here, this book offers no formula for

success. The paradox of teaching entrepreneurship is that such a formula necessarily

cannot exist; because every innovation is new and unique, no authority can prescribe

in concrete terms how to be innovative. Indeed, the single most powerful pattern I

have noticed is that successful people find value in unexpected places, and they do

this by thinking about business from first principles instead of formulas.

This book stems from a course about startups that I taught at Stanford in 2012.

College students can become extremely skilled at a few specialties, but many never

learn what to do with those skills in the wider world. My primary goal in teaching

the class was to help my students see beyond the tracks laid down by academic

specialties to the broader future that is theirs to create. One of those students, Blake

Masters, took detailed class notes, which circulated far beyond the campus, and in

Zero to One I have worked with him to revise the notes for a wider audience. There’s

no reason why the future should happen only at Stanford, or in college, or in Silicon

Valley.
