Venture capitalists manage to raise and invest trillions of dollars despite being wrong most of time through asymmetric bets—where a few big wins outsize losses by factors of 1,000x. In The Super Upside Factor, Daniel Kang draws on his experience as a venture capitalist at Softbank Vision Fund and a Y Combinator-backed founder to adapt asymmetric principles for personal and professional life. He offers a clear framework for maximizing luck and generating outsized returns―what he calls Super Upsides. Through vivid, real-life experiments, Kang demonstrates how he put these principles into practice―from securing a book deal writing just fifteen minutes a day; to recovering from a spiraling plane as a pilot; to raising millions by betting on a pivotal career shift. This book draws upon the author's firsthand experience going from no money, network, or looks to a highly successful career in entrepreneurship and venture capitalism. In this book, listeners will find discussion on core concepts like the multiplier effect and black swans; probabilities, biases, and luck, and how to make them work for you, not against you; and tools and first steps to create a "life portfolio" of uncapped upsides and unlimited opportunity.Voir livre
