The Super Upside Factor

di Daniel S. Kang (Autore)

Ascent Audio, 2025

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.
