Steve Huffman: "I was the only non-technical founder. Aside from naming the company and drawing the mascot, I had the important responsibility of everything else that wasn't technical" The first 100 or so Reddit users were either characters from World of Warcraft or pieces of furniture in our living room.

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.
