Evan Spiegel, the co-founder and CEO of Snap, launched Snapchat in 2011 while he was still a student at Stanford University.
Since then, he’s built one of the biggest social platforms in the world, used by more than 400 million people every day.
Evan's idea has genuinely changed the way we communicate. So, I couldn’t wait to sit down with him for our first episode of Great Company Presents: Founders Friday mini-series.
In our conversation, Evan shares:
- How the idea of Snapchat came about
- The moment he decided to drop out of Stanford
- The reality of becoming a billionaire at 25
- How he balances fatherhood and entrepreneurship
- Why Specs is the future of computing
Evan is proof that every successful business starts with an idea and sometimes the biggest rewards come from having the courage to take a risk...
