The most successful founder network ever: "The PayPal Mafia" They turned a payment startup into a multi-billion dollar empire. Here's their playbook: It started with a bold bet in the late 1990s. Two ambitious startups merged: Confinity and X. Their goal was to revolutionize how money moves around the internet. Competitors like eBay tried to crush them. But this pressure created something extraordinary: A team of founders who refused to quit. 2002: eBay acquired PayPal for $1.5B. Most would've taken the money and retired. Not these guys. Take Elon Musk, He could've retired after PayPal. Instead, he bet his entire fortune on two crazy ideas: 1. Electric cars 2. Reusable rockets. Today, he's the world's richest person. Peter Thiel, the "don" of the PayPal Mafia, made one of the greatest bets in history: The first major investment in Facebook. Reid Hoffman found LinkedIn . Two PayPal engineers, Steve Chen and Jawed Karim, went on to create YouTube.
