Ask HN: Greatest meta-entrepreneurs (besides pg)?
In addition to pg, who are the greatest meta-entrepreneurs?
P.S. I'm surprised that pg'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 "What I Worked On," pg says he was rejected by the MIT AI grad program. It's impossible to overstate how important this event is in startup/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've probably been sucked into a third-rate research job. > who are the greatest meta-entrepreneurs? Define "greatest" and "meta". But in general there are a lot, Marc Andreessen, Peter Thiel who are more vocal and visible come to mind immediately. > I'm surprised that pg's site does not use https? 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. > Why is pg never listed on a billionaires list I think the billionaires list is of founders of publicly listed companies whose wealth is determined by public records. Has YC IPO'd? > pg says he was rejected by the MIT AI grad program. It's impossible to overstate how important this event is in startup/world history.

Who's pg? Paul Graham, known for Y Combinator and Hacker News.
