内容简介
A look deep inside the new Silicon Valley, from the New York Times bestselling author of The Everything Store
Ten years ago, the idea of getting into a stranger's car, or a 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 iconic Silicon Valley renegades like Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, another generation of entrepreneurs is using technology to upend convention and disrupt entire industries. These are the upstarts, idiosyncratic founders with limitless drive and an abundance of self-confidence. Led by such visionaries as 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 definitive story of two new titans of business and a dawning age of tenacity, conflict and wealth. In Brad Stone's riveting account of the most radical companies of the new Silicon Valley, we discover how it all happened and what it took to change the world.

GregGuo的评论开始读的时候,不明白作者为什么选择一章写UBER一章写AIRBNB,后来慢慢发现这么安排的优点:可以比较清晰地了解两家公司在类似阶段的应对方法和公司灵魂人物的应对之道。对于硅谷知之甚少,这本书也算是我对硅谷的启蒙读物了。最后的脚注也挺不错,可以找到很多有价值的信息。

村长上树的评论An engrossing tale about two of the biggest stars of sharing economy. The history of Uber and Airbnb is more than just epic battles between the incumbents and future, it offers an enticing glimpse at what this new century might really look like.
-
licheng47的评论优步和爱彼迎是共享经济的双子星,也是所有共享经济公司中估值最高的两家。媒体报道,优步的估值一度高达680亿美元;爱彼迎的估值超过300亿美元。因为两家公司做的业务,不同于上一代互联网公司仅仅在线上,而是和线下紧密相连。所以,他们就面对了更多需要思考“战或和”、变通或坚持的场景。这些需要思考“战或和”的场景,都在考验一个创业公司CEO的选择能力,什么时候该变通(uber选择快车),什么时候该坚持(Airbnb坚持一开始不被认可的出租住家的理念)。

interskh的评论美国版风口上的猪。uber和airbnb最大的区别在于airbnb在乎host,uber并不在乎司机。

Infinite的评论“I got kind of obsessed,” he says. “I was living vicariously, escaping to a world where someone could build something and actually change something. I was not doing that. I was sitting in a dark office making stuff for closets and landfills.” 妈的同感 但是我他妈没有Chesky的才华
-
Super Neo的评论201809,这本书的亮点是介绍了很多类似公司创业的成功/失败案例,让读者知道创业并不是比谁先有这个idea,更多的是founders的执行力还有天时地利人和。万万没想到Uber和Airbnb的founders其实都是认识的,而且Airbnb的老板还投了A轮Uber。

瓶中沙的评论刚看了Airbnb 部分,说他们创始人开始境况窘迫没有方案甚至前景,无法实现他们的目标。他们只好卖麦片维持生计,才有底气和基础考虑自己的初心。而他们虽然艰难却从未放弃过,这种坚韧和不断修正改善才能帮助走向成功。每人要先生存,再考虑初心。而初心也是会随点拨和形势改变,那就随机应变。

远读重洋的评论作者跟踪采访了这两家公司,并记录了他们的血泪史。斯通是彭博——全球最大的财经资讯服务提供商的资深编辑。2013年他出版了《亚马逊:一网打尽》,讲述了亚马逊的发家史,备受好评。时隔四年,他又为读者们带来了Uber和Airbnb背后最真实的故事。
-
FORal的评论商场如战场,详细描写了Airbnb和Uber两家公司的创立,融资,为了新型经济形态而和政治权力和本地社区之间的斗争,两家公司创始人理念导致的不同的企业文化。跨度从公司初创到Didi合并Uber为止。从之前的故事也能看出为什么最后卡兰尼克会被赶下Uber的CEO职位。

熊出请猪医的评论喜马拉雅【听书】【初创“大”公司】Airbnb由三位创始人组成,任凡都要有一颗坚持的心,不放弃的毅力,机缘,天时,人和,渐渐构成了庞大的公司Airbnb。没有人从一开始就到终点,只有从起点一步一步的奔跑才能成就终点的目标。 2017-10-14
