Evan Spiegel co-founded Snapchat in 2011 while a Stanford product design student and famously turned down a $3 billion acquisition offer from Facebook at age 23 — building Snap Inc. into a publicly traded company that pioneered disappearing messages, Stories (copied by Instagram, WhatsApp, YouTube, and LinkedIn), and augmented reality camera lenses. Born in Los Angeles in 1990, Spiegel's design background shaped Snapchat's camera-first, photo-native interface. Stories became the defining content format of the mobile social media era, adopted universally across the industry after Snapchat demonstrated its viral appeal.
