Travis Kalanick is one of the greatest entrepreneurs of all time. The bad guys took his company. But they never broke his spirit. He rebuilt from scratch. And now he's back.

No one has the balls to whitewash history like a male Silicon Valley founder scorned. Though Elisabeth Holmes is giving him a good run for his money. [image]
