JC's Newsletter - The Paypal Wars - Book Quotes
Dear friends,In JC’s Newsletter, I share the articles, documentaries, and books I enjoyed the most in the last week, with some comments on how we relate to them at Alan. I do not endorse all the articles I share, they are up for debate. I’m doing it because a) I love reading, it is the way that I get most of my ideas, b) I’m already sharing those ideas with my team, and c) I would love to get your perspective on those. If you are not subscribed yet, it's right here! If you like it, please share it on social networks! I want to share a great book that provides a behind-the-scenes look at the early days of e-commerce and the rise of PayPal as a major player in the online payment industry: The Paypal Wars, by Eric M. Jackson. With its intense competition, legal battles, and lessons on building a successful tech company, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in technology and entrepreneurship. I strongly recommend to buy it and get your business to the next level ! 🔎 Some topics we will cover this week
