Acquisition History - TIGUS Slash Acquired

David Bianculli: Evan Spiegel is the founder of Snapchat. He was an intern at Intuit when he first met Mark Zuckerberg and now runs a billion dollar social media company. The two men were friends as undergraduates in Stanford's D school, which teaches business to grad students. They became close enough that they worked together on his idea for Google plus-like app. It didn't go anywhere but it gave him insight into how companies can be acquired by other people.
