"When you build a company with the intention of being acquired, you emphasize the wrong things... And let’s say you ignore this advice and do pull off a flip. You build your business, sell it, and get a nice payday. Then what? Move to an island and sip piña coladas all day? Will that really satisfy you? Will money alone truly make you happy? Are you sure you’ll like that more than running a business you actually enjoy and believe in?"

Peter Thiel: “Steve Jobs probably gets too little credit”
When asked if Steve Jobs gets too much credit for the success of Apple, Thiel responds:
“There are probably ways in which he gets too little credit… The founders of these companies are not divine beings - they’re not omnipotent, omniscient, or anything like that… But I think the importance of a charismatic leader who can bring out the best in people in something that is very underestimated.”
Thiel named his venture fund Founders Fund to emphasize this idea:
“We think that these tech companies do best when they’re led by founders…. We’re much more skeptical of the tech companies that are not founder-led. I think it’s weirdly understated as a problem… [Being founder-led is] the first approximation that would tell you which [companies] you can expect to innovate in the future and which ones won’t.”

RT @ArthurMacwaters: People are quick to say "oh yeah but X just hired great people, they're the talented ones"
Sure. It's a team effort.
But these companies simply would not exist, and would not rise to world-changing dominance, without the will and skill of great founders.
You can have a nuanced take and still respect the incredible things Jobs and Elon and others have to do.
