his parents are lawyers.

Arts and Sciences in Santa Monica, and

whilst studying at Stanford University.

to build it as a social networking platfom.

Zuckerberg and Steve Jobs, in 2012 Evan dropped

5. ABOUT SNAPCHAT

6. • Snapchat is an image
messaging and multimedia mobile application
which was released on september 2011.
• The corporate headquarters are located
in Venice, California.
• The idea behind creating snapchat was to
create a selfie app which allowed users to share
images that were explicitly short-lived and self-
deleting.

7. Why is he an idol to me?
• Despite choosing a promising career like that of
his parents, Evan chose to do something off beat.
• He was a below average student, but such an
enthusiast bout his project that he dropped off
his college degree without giving any second
thought.
• He turned down $3 billion from Facebook.“There
are very few people in the world who get to build
a business like this," he told Forbes at the time. "I
think trading that for some short-term gain isn't
very interesting."
