Max created the gauspeck levchin test after pay pal was getting hammered by hackers. In our next season, a group of high school students and their adult guides set out to climb mount hood in Oregon. An elite rescue team sets out to find the missing students but conditions are so bad even they face grave danger. Follow against the odds on apple p castes, amazon music, or wherever you're listening now.
After PayPal sold to eBay in 2002, Max Levchin could have relaxed on a beach for the rest of his life. But that’s not the kind of person he is. He isn’t happy unless he’s coming up with new ideas and building companies – so much so that he actually fell into a dark place after leaving PayPal. He didn’t fully find himself until years later, when he rediscovered his passion for the “hard, valuable, fun” problems of fintech. Now, Max runs another billion-dollar company: Affirm, a “buy now, pay later” service that’s transforming how we purchase things on credit. This is the second part of a two-part conversation with Max; to hear the story of PayPal, be sure to listen to part 1!
