Billionaire Silicon Valley investor Peter Thiel has a great question he puts to people he’s interviewing. “Tell me,” he asks, “something that’s true that almost nobody agrees with you about.”
I promise I’m not fishing for a job with Thiel, but here’s how I’d answer. When I started my company Second Home in Spitalfields in 2014, I was convinced that as we created spaces for entrepreneurs and cultural events, we should refurbish and reuse existing buildings, and try not to go into shiny new developments.
