When Peter Thiel and Max Levchin launched an online payment website in 1999, they hoped their service could improve the lives of millions around the globe. But when their start-up, PayPal, survived the dot.com crash only to find itself besieged by unimaginable challenges, that dream threatened to become a nightmare. PayPal's history - as told by former insider Eric Jackson - is an engrossing study of human struggle and perseverance against overwhelming odds. The entrepreneurs that Thiel and Levchin recruited to overhaul world currency markets first had to face some of the greatest trials ever thrown at a Silicon Valley company before they could make internet history. Business guru Tom Peters, author of In Search of Excellence, called the hardcover edition of The PayPal Wars a real page turner that featured what he called the best description of business strategy unfolding in a world changing at warp speed. The new paperback edition will feature updated material and even more insights on the state of internet commerce.

資金調達、競合他社からの追従、人材の登用と流出など、ベンチャー企業を経営するうえで起こりうるほぼ全ての出来事がとてもリアルに書かれており、英語に自身が無い方でもあっという間に没頭できる内容だと思います。
辞書を片手にでも、最初から最後まで読む価値あり。
IT 系のベンチャー企業で働く方にはオススメです。

5つ星のうち3.0 ペイパル・マフィアを理解するため、今更ながら読んでみた、が、目的には合わなかった
2014年11月19日に日本でレビュー済み
Amazonで購入
イーロン・マスク、ピーター・ティールなどが最近（さらに）注目されている。彼ら以外にも「ペイパル・マフィア」といわれるペイパル出身者が、LinkedIn、YouTube、Yelpを成功させている。
その理由を理解したく、今更ながら10年前に初版刊行した本書を買ってみました。

読みやすい本です。
しかしながら、内容は古典的なベンチャー・ストーリーで、著しく特別なことは描かれていません。流し読みしてしまったので、読み込みがたりないのでしょうか。ペイパル・マフィアの生成には、ペイパル前の活動に共通の特徴があようです。米国でも同様に最近になって読む人が多いように思います。amazon.comのコメント数は、2004年のハードカバー発売時より、2014年今年投稿されたものが多くなっています。

amazon.comに"an alternate history"という批評があります。著者に関して、そういう見方もあるということを理解したうで、読んだほうがいいと思います。

A very entertaining book that shows an early startup employee's perspective on the trial and tribulations at Paypal, and can see why this specific company produced so many new game changing entrepreneurs that forever would change Silicon Valley. You also learn more about perhaps the most famous member of the Paypal Mafia - Elon Musk, and get a perspective on him that differs from the one seen today.

Eric M. Jackson's "The PayPal Wars" stands as one of the finest accounts yet written of the heady days of dot-com in 2000 and 2001. What makes Jackson's account so imminently readable is the author's sense of humility, and his reflexive empathy for the travails of his colleagues at PayPal.

Originally recruited away from Anderson by Peter Theil, Jackson writes from the vantage of one accustomed to the ways of the old economy-- strict hierarchy, clearly-defined roles, and an emphasis on structure. Jackson reported to work his first day to find that no one at PayPal was aware he had been hired; after getting over his initial panic, he quickly learned that the new economy prized a different set of values: speed, flexibility, egalitarianism, and, above all, talent. Despite having no prior marketing experience, Jackson quickly learned the ropes and ascended to a position of prominence within the fledgling organization.

Jackson's observations ring true to anyone fortunate enough to have worked in a high-growth tech startup:

* Customer service was playing catch-up to the company's emphasis on growth, with unanswered email queues exceeding 100,000 at times.

* Simple search queries used to generate internal usage reports would threaten to crash the public site due to scaling problems.

* Engineers sparred over which platform to use (Oracle or NT), ultimately developing for both in parallel.

* Upper-management preoccupied itself with inking biz dev deals to increase growth instead of fixing serious site problems that were causing users to leave.

Throughout his narrative, Jackson pulls few punches, and writes with convincing sincerity about the strengths and weaknesses of the company he helped to create:

"I'll certainly acknowledge that our company wasn't beyond media dissection. In fact, we deserved it! We had racked up $92 million in operating losses through the first three quarters of the year against revenues of just $6 million. CNET, The Red Herring, and other media outlets had every right to sink their teeth into a company with such a dangerous burn rate..."

Peter Theil emerges as a true visionary, having originally conceived of PayPal as a way of allowing citizens across the world bypass currency-devaluing actions of their local governments by letting them transfer savings into foreign-denominated currency. While this vision never came to pass, the encompassing nature of his vision seized the imagination of those who toiled to make PayPal succeed. Theil also had the financial acumen to realize that unless he closed his venture round quickly in the spring of 2001, the continuing slide of NASDAQ would scare away the investors he had so carefully brought to the table. He closed a $100 million round just in time by instructing the investment bank not to haggle over the company's valuation-- just to close the round as fast as possible. Had he waited even a few more days, his investors would have fled to safety, and PayPal would have run out of cash.

Some of the most delicious passages of Jackson's account are those which describe the culture of PayPal's ultimate buyer, eBay:

"EBay employees seemed trained to make phone calls to everyone who might have even the remotest interest in the matter and invite them to the yet-to-be-scheduled meeting. After at least two dozen invitations had been extended, a meeting time and location would be scheduled about a week in advance. The following day, like clockwork, the meeting would be rescheduled because of a calendar conflict of a peripheral stakeholder. After several rounds of schedule shuffling, attendees filing into the summit would be handed a thick set of PowerPoint slides filled with bullet points, tables, and an aphorism or two... The duration of the meeting would then be devoted to wading through the voluminous set of slides, with the usual outcome being an agreement to set up a follow-up meeting wo that the issues raised by the slides could be further discussed."

Ultimately, the usurpation of PayPal's innovative culture for eBay's beauracratic one led Jackson, as well as most of his fellow PayPal colleagues, to depart. The strength of PayPal's bench can be readily seen by considering what its members did later--

* Peter Theil became a major figure in the venture arena, where he helped build the then-nascent social network, Facebook.

* Reid Hoffman went on to take the helm of LinkedIn, which has since gone through a successful IPO.

* Chad Hurley and Steve Chen founded YouTube (later acquired by Google).

* Jeremy Stoppleman and Russel Simmons founded Yelp.

* Premal Shah founded Kiva.

* Dave McClure founded SimplyHired.

One of the few downsides of Jackson's compelling account is his insertion of political positions which he presents as if his readers will naturally share his outlook. While not over-wrought, his endorsements of Milton Freidman, Bernie Goldberg, and his sweeping denunciations of regulatory agencies wear on the reader who is otherwise inclined to affirm Jackson's observations on life in a high-growth company. In an afterword which describes the threat posed to eBay and PayPal from an ascendent Google, Jackson intones that "Google's management appears to be overwhelmingly left-wing"-- a pronouncement which is intended to spook the reader.

Despite his politics, Eric Jackson has penned a wonderful time-capsule of the heady days of the dot-com blast. If you are looking for a highly-readable volume which avoids the standard cant while offering a first-hand account of what life is really like in a startup, look no further.

This was an absolute pleasure to read. Informative, engaging and really made you feel part of the start up and struggles of Paypal.

Was well written and because it was first hand was all the more inspiring.
