Episode notes

Alexis O'Hanyan and Steve Hoffman are the founders of Reddit. They talk about how they came to be successful in a very different industry. It's hard to say if we could do it again all over even with perfect knowledge, says Alexis. If you're wondering if someone put my arms on a bird, they did.

With $12,000 and a mascot named Snoo, two former college roommates designed a web site they hoped would become "the front page of the Internet." Today, despite growing pains, personal issues and persistent trolls, Reddit has over 300 million monthly users and is valued at 1.8 billion dollars. Recorded live in San Francisco.
