Ask HN: Greatest meta-entrepreneurs (besides pg)?

4 pointsby mdlmabout 4 years ago
In addition to pg, who are the greatest meta-entrepreneurs?<p>P.S. I&#x27;m surprised that pg&#x27;s site does not use https. P.P.S. Why is pg never listed on a billionaires list (or a Midas list)? P.P.P.S. In his Feb 2021 essay &quot;What I Worked On,&quot; pg says he was rejected by the MIT AI grad program. It&#x27;s impossible to overstate how important this event is in startup&#x2F;world history. At that time the MIT AI lab was the best AI lab in the the world by a huge margin so pg would&#x27;ve probably been sucked into a third-rate research job.

&gt; who are the greatest meta-entrepreneurs?<p>Define &quot;greatest&quot; and &quot;meta&quot;.<p>But in general there are a lot, Marc Andreessen, Peter Thiel who are more vocal and visible come to mind immediately.<p>&gt; I&#x27;m surprised that pg&#x27;s site does not use https?<p>Why would he want that? As far as I can see, he does not even have comment section. There is no data going the other way, let alone data that needs protection.<p>&gt; Why is pg never listed on a billionaires list<p>I think the billionaires list is of founders of publicly listed companies whose wealth is determined by public records. Has YC IPO&#x27;d?<p>&gt; pg says he was rejected by the MIT AI grad program. It&#x27;s impossible to overstate how important this event is in startup&#x2F;world history. At that time the MIT AI lab was the best AI lab in the the world by a huge margin so pg would&#x27;ve probably been sucked into a third-rate research job.<p>Wow! You do have a knack for extrapolation!
