The Chief Executive Officer of Snapchat, Evan Spiegel, delivered a speech to the graduates of the University of Southern California’s Marshall School of Business. Snapchat news reported that Mr. Spiegel asked the class of 2015 to speak of their dissent.
Mr. Spiegel stated, “The things that make us human are those times we listen to the whispers of our soul and allow ourselves to be pulled in another direction.” He appeared wearing a black gown before 1000 graduates neatly arranged on the basketball court of USC. The CEO smiled when the school’s Dean, James Ellis, told students that when they began studying at USC, at about the same time when the service was introduced in 2011, their favorite was Facebook, and now they are leaving the institution with Snapchat as the service they are interested in using.
The video messaging service’s main feature allows its users to disseminate text, videos, and photos that disappear in a few seconds after viewed. The customers of the company are also able to access stories from media organizations and user-generated stories from different parts of the world.
In 2013, the CEO rejected offers worth billions of dollars from Facebook to purchase Snapchat, which has grown rapidly by serving more than 100,000,000 users and reaping values of $15,000,000,000. Critics presented their view that Evan’s decision represents his arrogance.
The company’s founder informed students that his non-selling decision determines the meaningfulness of his product. He added, “Best thing we can do is build the best possible foundation for those who come after us.”
In poor times, one may trust the cynic, who says that one person cannot make a difference. He exclaimed to share dissent and find the passion and motivation. Spiegel, who reaches 25, next month, left Stanford University with a few courses before graduation in 2012. He reached the stage at his own ceremony, but only to grab an empty folder. He also told that he suffered from the feelings of embarrassment and was not interested in leaving out.
SnapChat news today informed that Stanford University’s studies has contributed to the introduction of the high-tech service, as Mr. Evan was working on a class project during the early years when he came up with this idea. He initially named it ‘Picaboo’. Snapchat breaking news affirmed that he and his two colleagues left the educational institution to pioneer the messaging service.
It is expected that students would learn from his words.
