These people have continued to invest in each other’s companies and work together to create world-changing companies over and over again. The group of individuals who started and worked at PayPal in the early internet days have gone on to found some of the most successful and interesting companies in the world today. One of the most mesmerizing and mind-blowing group of individuals to ever work together is the “PayPal Mafia”. The tiny little startups that execute well, work hard, focus on solving the right problems, and don’t listen to the noise SOMETIMES end up being very large and well known companies over time.

The early days are the most interesting to me because at some point in time even the biggest, most well known companies were a tiny little startup.
