  The turning $1,000 into $1.54 billion story… 
  In 1982, MIT professor Kenan Sahin took $1,000 from his savings and used it to undertake the most extraordinary entrepreneurial journey, culminating with a $1.54 billion rich exit just 17 years later. This is the story of Kenan’s turning his academic theories into axiomatic principles for building a Lean Startup into a Lean Company followed by a Rich Exit. 
  Among those principles are...Suffusing the organization with a "teach and learn, learn and teach" mindsetRecruiting and retaining the nation’s finest talent by hiring based on aptitude > attitude > willingness > experience (in order of importance)Finding a way to reject outside funding and retain full ownership 
  And every step and misstep along Kean’s road to success is brought into the present day—for Kenan remains the professor at heart and is deeply committed to helping fellow entrepreneurs forge models for outsized excellence in their own way forward.

  Report of the Presidential Task...

  From the close of trading on Tuesday, October 13, 1987, to the close of trading on October 19, 1987, the Dow Jones Industrial Average ("Dow") fell 769 points or 31 percent. On October 19, 1987, alone, the Dow fell by 508 points or 22.6 percent. Since the early 1920's, only the drop of 12.8 percent in the Dow on October 28, 1929 and the fall of 11.7 percent the following day, which together constituted the Crash of 1929, approached the October 19 decline in magnitude. The events of October demonstrated an unusual frailty in the markets. Only 3 percent of the total shares of publicly traded stock in the U.S. changed hands during this period, but it resulted in the loss in stock value of $1 trillion ($2.239 trillion 2019 equivalent).That such a relatively small transaction volume could produce such a large loss in value over such a short time span led to the rapid appointment of the Presidential Commission on Market Mechanisms by Ronald Reagan. The report of the task force, chaired by Treasury Secretary Nicholas Brady and completed in a few months, focused on the individual marketplaces and the interrelationship of existing market mechanisms, including the instruments traded, the strategies employed, regulatory structures, and electronic market information systems. The resulting publication came to be known as "The Brady Report" and it led to significant public policy regulating securities and other financial instruments during a period of broad technological change in society.
