At 21 years old, David Karp created a social media platform with short-form blogs, personalizing their themes, and just having a safe space to be themselves and find others with the same interests. He also made it to where people couldn’t directly post a comment, but could re-blog something and add a caption to it for their followers to see. He wanted a safe place for people to be themselves and found a way to make that happen, without inhibiting the companies performance overall.
