Adam D’ Angelo is the CEO and co-founder of Quora. Quora is a site that helps people answer the questions they have. Adam however did not start with this huge success. In fact, his career started way before this. He went to “Phillips Exeter Academy” which is the same high school that Mark Zuckerberg attended. They both were friends and actually created Synapse Media Player which was very successful. It eventually got bought by Microsoft. After this, he created a website called “Buddyzoo”. Then he went to help Mark Zuckerberg with Facebook. He eventually left that job, and that is when he went on to create Quora. Quora is a huge success that far outperforms every other Q&A website. Adam D’ Angelo is now worth around 600 million dollars. He is a perfect example of a millennial entrepreneur who did not let anything stop him from success.

Wow…I use Quora all the time and never stopped to think about what a great site it was and how brilliant its’ creator was. It’s incredible how the guy who created Quora was also friends with Zuckerberg and helped make Facebook. Great example of how ideas and innovators are magnetic to each other and work to create awesome things!
Pretty cool to hear about his journey before he started Quora. He worked on one idea, then another, then another. A good reminder to never settle, even if we’ve created something that’s good. There are so many ideas to be conceived and changes to be made, so why would we settle? Also a good reminder to not get frustrated if our first idea doesn’t turn out the way we expect.
