Peter Thiel is more than just a co-founder and former CEO of PayPal. He's also a billionaire libertarian, a Bilderberg member, a philanthropist, an angel investor, a futurist, an entrepreneur, a gay rights activist, a professor, and an author. He is speaking at the Jewish Community Center tonight on the topic of his new book. Zero to One shares lessons about problem solving, innovating, and the future that Thiel learned while entrepreneuring in Silicon Valley. As a long-term thinker, Thiel believes that people need to look far into the future when considering how problems should be solved and progress should be made. He'll be discussing his ideas with Sarah Lacy, founder and editor-in-chief of tech blog PandoDaily. Thiel's new book is based on a class he recently taught at Stanford called Startup, in which he posited the idea that successful startups are based around secrets. Perhaps he'll reveal the secret of all startup secrets at his talk, where Nepalese food will be served.
Peter Thiel speaks at 7 p.m. at the Jewish Community Center of San Francisco, 3200 California St., S.F. Standard tickets are $40, premium tickets, which include a copy of Zero to One, are $50; visit jccsf.org.
