I'm also skeptical of Jack's claim about founder led companies. When you're the exec handing things over you'd have to make some comment like that to show your trust is entirely behind the new person. I don't really buy it though.
Also I thought Evan Williams and Biz Stone were the Twitter founders? Maybe I'm forgetting the history.
- madamelic 5y ago> Also I thought Evan Williams and Biz Stone were the Twitter founders? He was a founder...ish. From reading his Wikipedia, it seems like it was an x.com / PayPal situation. He joined their company to help them with the idea then when they spun Twitter out, he became CEO. From digging in a bit deeper, the lineage of Twitter seems fascinating. It seems like it was the result of the companies of the co-founders putting together that created something even better than their own parts.
- sporkland 5y agoThere's a whole book, "Hatching Twitter" about the sordid founding of Twitter and how Dorsey and Noah Glass were the main originators of the concept at oOdeo, then Ev eventually fired them and removed them from the history. Only to have Dorsey come back later and remove him. Seems like a bunch of people had a hand in creating it in various ways.
