DID YOU KNOW A SIMPLE MESSAGING APP BECAME THE SUBJECT OF A DEAL WORTH ABOUT $19 BILLION?
Jan Koum and Brian Acton co-founded WhatsApp to make communication easier.
In 2014, Facebook announced a deal to acquire WhatsApp valued at approximately $19 billion at the time.
The idea addressed something billions of people understand: the need to stay connected.
THE LESSON?
You don't always need a complicated invention.
Find a problem people care about.
Make the solution simple.
Make it genuinely useful.
Big value can begin with one simple idea.
