He bet on a city
before anyone else
saw it coming.
Graham Weston. Co-founder of Rackspace. Builder of Geekdom, the 80/20 Foundation, and a downtown San Antonio reborn.
The through-line
“What we all want is to be valued members of a winning team on an inspiring mission.”
Seeded Rackspace in 1998 and ran it from twelve people to twelve hundred. Sold it in 2016 for $4.3 billion. Everything since has gone into the same wager: that San Antonio can hold the people it produces, if someone builds the places worth staying for.
