Description

The Upstarts: Uber, Airbnb and the Battle for the New Silicon Valley by Brad Stone In the past decade, two companies have revolutionised the way we live and travel. Uber and Airbnb are now household names, transforming neighbourhoods and challenging traditional business regulations. Their founders, a new generation of entrepreneurs, have rewritten the rules of business with limitless drive and self-confidence. These Upstarts, often idiosyncratic and brilliant, have created cultural upheavals through technology. They sidestep serious ethical and legal obstacles in the process, changing our day-to-day lives. This book provides a riveting account of their story, from its beginnings to the present day, revealing how the world is wildly different ten years on. The result is a tale of tenacity, creativity, conflict and wealth, as seen through the eyes of Brad Stone, New York Times bestselling author.
