Ten years ago, the idea of getting into a stranger's car, or 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 Silicon Valley renegades like Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, another generation of entrepreneurs is using technology to upend convention and disrupt entire industries. Led by people like 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 story of two new titans of business and a dawning age of tenacity, conflict, and wealth. In Brad Stone's account of the most radical companies of the new Silicon Valley, we discover how it all happened.… (altro)

Автор бестселлера об Amazon и главред отдела глобальных технологий в Bloomberg News решил рассказать истории двух других знаковых компаний XXI века, расположенных по соседству с ним в Сан-Франциско. Как ни странно, у обеих компаний, Uber и Airbnb, много общего помимо местонахождения штаб-квартир и личной дружбы владельцев-основателей. И та и другая взрывали устоявшиеся за десятилетия сегменты, обе ради роста нарушали законы по всему миру, а самое главное, меняли наше представление о том, как можно пользоваться такси и снимать жилье. Книга, написанная без лишних сантиментов и восхищения героями, — настоящий учебник по бизнесу. Стартовать и подвинуть первопроходцев научит победа Airbnb над Couchsurfing. Бороться с имитаторами научат битвы Uber с мастерами этого дела — китайцами. И обеим компаниям есть что рассказать о пиаре, контрпиаре и гибкости в трактовке законодательства чиновниками. Как всегда, особенно поучительны не сами по себе победы, а то, как компании оправлялись от ударов и находили новые ходы, чтобы достичь успеха. P. S. А Uber начался с того, что у основателя появилась девушка из другого района, куда пешком не находишься.

A very good intro on the rise of Uber, Airbnb and similar such startups. What fascinated me was the personality of Brian Chesky rather than the rabble rouser Travis. Need to read more about Chesky and his book reccos. ( )

Well-written book about the rise of Airbnb and Uber, with mentions of Lyft and a short detour to China and Didi towards the end. I found it easy to follow as an audio book. What was most surprising to me was how Stone is able to lay out how all of these companies basically used the same strategies when it came to dealing with local laws/existing companies: ignore, fight, lobby, essentially do anything to allow their service to operate and thrive. This is what you'd expect from a corporation, but it was enlightening to see that the services were near-indistinguishable in terms of tactics. And yet, only Uber was caught in significant / long-lasting bad press (remember #deleteuber?), primarily because of the interactions Kalanick had with regulators and the press. Good lessons here around how people perceive a whole company based solely on the temperament of its founders. In this case, actions didn't speak louder than words. ( )

A really excellent book that gives you a flavour of the difficulties and opportunities of the entrepreneurial challenge as well as the force of will required to build successful companies. It is also an enjoyable story as well. ( )
