Setting The Fame Like Evan Thomas Spiegel, My MCM

Snapchat co-Founder, Evan Thomas Spiegel

I like his story on persistence and believe towards ignoring the validation of people on a failed project, subsequently evolved into success later on.

My #mcm Evan Thomas Spiegel is an American entrepreneur, co-founder and CEO of the mobile app Snapchat. Evan Spiegel developed an app that could send photo messages to contacts with a timer that would remove them in 10 seconds or less and called it Picaboo. It flopped. Rebranded as Snapchat, the app is now used by 100 million people monthly, for free. In 2013 Evan turned down a $3 billion buyout offer from Facebook. 

In February 2015 the company reportedly received offers that would value it at $19 billion. 

One of my favorite quotes from Evan is, "I think trading that for some short-term gain isn't very interesting".
