I think if you look at the commonalities between eBay, PayPal and OpenTable, all three are businesses that built a network in a vertical. Network effect businesses are very attractive businesses.

I work on my whole game and learn from the people around me, who I've benefited from tremendously, or the new players who come in to the club.
