Friends,
One month ago, we published our 35,000-word series on Founders Fund. It became our most popular story ever.
If you haven’t read it, now is the time.
“No Rivals” is a four-part series charting Founders Fund’s rise from a bit-part venture firm to the summit of Silicon Valley. We uncover:
The contrarian ideology behind Peter Thiel’s multi-billion-dollar windfalls on SpaceX and Airbnb
How hedge fund failure laid the groundwork for venture success
The soft power initiatives that changed how America innovates
Thiel’s far-reaching influence, which stretches to the White House
Founders Fund’s remarkable financial performance, boasting multiple historic vintages
…And much, much more.

Here's what readers have said:
“One of the best reads of this year so far. Worth the subscription.”
“IMHO, this isn’t just a profile. It’s a saga of power, risk, and reinvention at the highest levels of tech investing. A good start for a Netflix series.”
"The best long-form essays on VC & Private Companies."
“It was truly a magnum opus. The prose and the fund 👏👏”
