the paypal mafia photo is the most reproduced image in tech. what gets skipped is that in 2000 the company in it was nearly dead.

fraud was costing them over $10m a month. russian rings running bots to farm signup bonuses, chargebacks stacking faster than revenue.

the fix became two things you still use. gausebeck and levchin built a test that made you type distorted characters before opening an account one of the first commercial captchas. then igor, a pattern-detection system named after a fraudster who'd taunted them.

losses fell to roughly 0.37% by the end of 2001, against an industry average near 1%. the thing that almost killed them turned into the moat.

that's what ebay bought for $1.5b in 2002. then everyone scattered.

Funding the next wave of agentic unicorns will require a totally new approach to VC
