Happy Snapchat IPO Day π»ππ
Today is the day! For just $17, you too can add "Snapchat investor" to your Twitter bio. People were skeptical at Evan Spiegel's decision to turn down a $3 billion acquisition offer from Facebook in 2013, and now, $SNAP is going public at a $24 billion valuation.
While competitive pressures rise (π, Instagram!), Evan and team have continued to innovate in surprising ways. They made QR codes socially acceptable. They face hardware that, unlike Google Glass, people actually use. And their Stories format has become a familiar UI pattern, inspiring WhatsApp, Facebook, and just yesterday, Medium launched its own βstoriesβ. π
