Co-Founder and CEO
Snapchat Inc.

Evan Spiegel is the co-founder and CEO of Snapchat, a real-time picture messaging application available on iPhone and Android.

Snapchat users have shared more than five billion unique images through the service since January 2012, making Snapchat one of the Top 10 apps in the iTunes App Store. The fast-rising startup recently raised funding from Benchmark Capital; the team’s headquarters moved from Spiegel’s dad’s place to offices in Venice Beach, Calif.

Before Snapchat, Spiegel worked as a software developer at Intuit, where he was involved with a stealth project involving SMS technology. He studied product design at Stanford University, and almost graduated.
