Steve Huffman and Alexis O'Hannion came up with the front page of Reddit in 2005. The site is now worth $1.8 billion, according to its most recent valuation. It's a discussion site filled entirely with user-generated content. In 2015 parts of the site were hijacked by trolls who used it to spread hateful messages.
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.
