What Peter Thiel Looks for Before Joining a Startup Peter Thiel says the people you work with are more important than anything else. He asks: “Do you like them? Could you be friends with them?” He shares a story about a law firm where “everyone hated each other but made a lot of money.” Thiel says that’s not enough. In his book Zero to One, he writes: “Why work with people who don’t like each other? Time is your most valuable asset. If your team doesn’t share a vision for the future, you’re wasting it.” Work isn’t just about money—it’s about building real connections. If you leave a job with no good relationships, you’ve wasted your time. Choose to work with people you respect and enjoy. That’s the key to real success.
