Written by a successful venture capitalist (and university
dropout), this book is part memoir, part guide for the next
generation of innovators who seek an alternative to the traditional
path in higher education. "Part adventure tale, part manifesto,
Paper Belt on Fire is a battle cry for anyone who ever dreamed of
wresting power back from corrupt institutions-or of nailing the
truth to the cathedral door." -Peter Thiel, author of Zero to One
Paper Belt on Fire is the unlikely account of how two outsiders
with no experience in finance-a charter school principal and
defrocked philosopher-start a venture capital fund to short the
higher education bubble. Against the contempt of the education
establishment, they discover, mentor, and back the leading lights
in the next generation of dropout innovators and in the end make
their investors millions. Can such a madcap strategy help renew
American creativity? Who would do such a thing? This story is the
behind-the-scenes romp of one team that threw educational
authorities into a panic. It fuses real-life personal drama with
history, science, and philosophy to show how higher education and
other institutions must evolve to meet the dire challenges of
tomorrow.
