“First, only invest in companies that have the potential to return the value of the entire fund.”
Peter Thiel, Zero to One: Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Future

“you’ve invented something new but you haven’t invented an effective way to sell it, you have a bad business—no matter how good the product.”
Peter Thiel, Zero to One: Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Future

“In a world of scarce resources, globalization without new technology is unsustainable.”
Peter Thiel, Zero to One: Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Future

“EVERY MOMENT IN BUSINESS happens only once. The next Bill Gates will not build an operating system. The next Larry Page or Sergey Brin won’t make a search engine. And the next Mark Zuckerberg won’t create a social network. If you are copying these guys, you aren’t learning from them.”
Peter Thiel, Zero to One: Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Future

“That’s why hiring consultants doesn’t work. Part-time employees don’t work. Even working remotely should be avoided, because misalignment can creep in whenever colleagues aren’t together full-time, in the same place, every day. If you’re deciding whether to bring someone on board, the decision is binary. Ken Kesey was right: you’re either on the bus or off the bus.”
Peter Thiel, Zero to One: Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Future
