Meet The 23- Year-old Kid Who Turned Down $3 Billion For Snapchat by Archisola(m): 11:42pm On Nov 17, 2013 |
Two years ago, Evan Spiegel was just another beer-soaked frat boy obsessing over sex and dot.com riches. This week, the 23-year-old co- founder of Snapchat was offered big -- big -- money for the tiny smartphone app company he created. Instead of dancing into the sunset, Spiegel did the unthinkable, turning down a $3 billion offer from Facebook (FB) and then a $4 billion bid from Google (GOOG). A college dropout running a company with almost no assets, no revenue and a mountain of legal problems, Spiegel is betting Snapchat can transcend the stigma of the "next big thing" and become an industry unto its own. There's no going back now. History will paint Evan Spiegel as either one of the most brilliant entrepreneurs ever, or a delusional fool. what do you think, was that a wise step? What would you do if you were in his shoes? |
