Not many people know or believe that Instagram has a Brazilian as a co-founder. Mike Krieger was not only that – he was also the sole developer for Instagram during its early stages.
Between the ideation of a mobile check-in app called Burbn and Instagram becoming one of the most heavily used apps of our days, there's a lot to be shared.
At Vamos Latam Summit, our connections and knowledge flagship event, Mike recounted his journey with Gina Gotthilf – who co-founded Latitud with me and Yuri, and is also a former VP of Growth at the education app Duolingo.
Gina and Mike talked about:
- The main lessons Mike learned during his journey as Instagram's co-founder;
- How to maintain a good relationship between cofounders and deal with the expansion of your startup to other countries;
- What growth levers helped Instagram pick up in its early days, and how to not lose sight of product and people when developing new technologies.
