The Founders, by award-winning author Jimmy Soni, is an exhaustively researched account of how a scrappy start-up called PayPal became one of the most influential companies of the internet age. Drawing on hundreds of interviews and thousands of pages of internal documents, Soni reconstructs the fierce competition, internal power struggles, rampant fraud and dot-com crash the company survived before reshaping digital payments forever. It is essential reading for anyone fascinated by Silicon Valley history, startup culture, or the personalities behind Tesla, SpaceX and LinkedIn, many of whom got their start at PayPal.. Shoe Dog is Phil Knight's own memoir of founding Nike, beginning in 1962 when he borrowed a small sum from his father to import running shoes from Japan and sold them from the back of his car. Knight charts the company's precarious early years, the loyal band of misfits who built it alongside him, and the sacrifices behind Nike's rise into a global icon. Written with humour and unusual candour, it has become one of the most beloved business memoir
