About
Evan Spiegel co-founded Snapchat at Stanford in 2011 and turned down a reported $3B acquisition offer from Facebook in 2013, a decision vindicated by Snap's 2017 IPO. He has been CEO throughout, defending the company through Instagram's direct cloning of Stories and pivoting Snap toward augmented reality hardware with Spectacles. He remains one of the youngest people ever to lead a company to a multi-billion-dollar public listing.
