Evan Spiegel and Bobby Murphy were students at Stanford University. Spiegel thought of the idea for a social media platform that stood out from the competition. Spiegel saw potential in the unique app where one’s messages disappear after sending and recruited Murphy to help him make this idea a reality. Now at only 28 years old, Spiegel is said to have a net worth of approximately 3 billion dollars. The duo took inspiration from existing platforms, but from that, they were able to make something much different than any other social media site and it proved to be wildly profitable.

This is a key example for why you need to find the right person for the right job. Spiegel’s innovative and forward thinking idea could not have come to fruition if he were not to reach out to Bobby Murphy for help. Many entrepreneurs seek to do things by themselves, but this only hinders creation.
Cool to see such a simple idea come to be one the largest social medias of today. Just goes to show that sometimes you need someone else’s skills and input to create something amazing. To this day, Snapchat is unique and there are no other social medias like it. (Although some have stolen ideas from it, such as stories that are now on Instagram and YT)
Snapchat truly has changed the way social media has come and gone. Now I do not know anyone who is over the ages of 12 that does not have snapchat. Also, snapchat has taken over texting and calling in many ways to especially for me if I text someone it is almost always over snapchat first.
