Chad Hurley was the lead founder of YouTube in 2005. Hurley and partner Steve Chen got the idea for YouTube when they had trouble sharing a video of their dinner party on the internet. From there, they noticed it was difficult to find any type of videos on the internet, and decided to do something about it. They noticed a problem with videos on the internet (at the time) being hard to come by, so they came up with YouTube as their solution to the problem. Nothing similar to YouTube existed at the time, which contributed to what makes their product a fantastic, revolutionary new idea. Chad Hurley started the operation above a pizzeria in a small room, and he was determined to create a website with videos on it, which is a characteristic of a great entrepreneur. After developing the website, and watching it take off in success, google contacted him for a possible business proposition. He sold the website to Google in October of 2006 for a solid $1.65 billion, all because he noticed a problem with video sharing, and offered a solution. Chad is a revolutionary millennial entrepreneur that changed the way the internet was formerly used.
