i'm assuming you did not think you would be at google for the rest of your career. I knew that i would leave and start another company at some point, but i certainly didn't enter the a campus thinking, hey, this is a very temporary thing. For an ontreperner, youget reminded you're an interpeter. You kind of have to follow them because you're in someone else's a backyard. And eventually i sort of sedlick, i think i'm probably better off on the outside, dressing at thre o'clock in the morning.
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!
