Meet the author
Peter Thiel is a German-American entrepreneur, venture capitalist, and author with a net worth of $2.5 billion. He co-founded PayPal, led it as CEO, and took it public before selling it to eBay. Thiel then founded Palantir Technologies, a software company that specializes in big data analytics, and served as its chairman. He manages the Thiel Foundation and Founders Fund, a venture capital firm that has funded companies like SpaceX and Airbnb. Thiel’s contrarian thinking and entrepreneurial success led him to write “Zero to One” in 2014, challenging conventional business wisdom.
Despite his immense wealth, Thiel maintains a relatively low profile. He was born in Germany and moved to the United States as a child, later becoming a naturalized citizen. Thiel studied philosophy at Stanford University before launching his business ventures. An avid chess player, he continues to reside in the San Francisco Bay Area, where he can often be found playing at local chess clubs.
