Elon Musk, Amy Rowe Clement, Peter Thiel, Julie Anderson, Max Levchin - names that boggle our imagination. These people were once unknown founders of an average online payment company, and today they are considered to be among the most influential in the tech industry. Since founding PayPal, they have funded and advised some of the world's leading companies: Tesla, Facebook, YouTube, SpaceX, Yelp, Palantir, LinkedIn, and more.

Although they faced fierce competition, internal disagreements, online fraud, and the dot-com bust of the 2000s, their success was undeniable. Analysing hundreds of interviews and documents, the author reveals how these people changed our world forever.

Their ingenuity and tireless research led to the creation of many of the things that shape our world today: digital startups, cashless currency systems, and mobile money transfer apps.
