具体描述
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.
用户评价
##201809，这本书的亮点是介绍了很多类似公司创业的成功／失败案例，让读者知道创业并不是比谁先有这个idea，更多的是founders的执行力还有天时地利人和。万万没想到Uber和Airbnb的founders其实都是认识的，而且Airbnb的老板还投了A轮Uber。
评分##随着智能手机出现的这波新公司值得记录下来
评分##见the airbnb story的评价。uber没有什么好说的。
评分##很久前买来读了一半，现在成了员工再翻感觉也不一样了
评分##优步和爱彼迎是共享经济的双子星，也是所有共享经济公司中估值最高的两家。媒体报道，优步的估值一度高达680亿美元；爱彼迎的估值超过300亿美元。因为两家公司做的业务，不同于上一代互联网公司仅仅在线上，而是和线下紧密相连。所以，他们就面对了更多需要思考“战或和”、变通或坚持的场景。这些需要思考“战或和”的场景，都在考验一个创业公司CEO的选择能力，什么时候该变通（uber选择快车），什么时候该坚持（Airbnb坚持一开始不被认可的出租住家的理念）。
评分##两个故事的storytelling很棒
评分##If the book is published a year later, it could include the most dramatic year for Uber.
评分##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.
