| Jan Koum |
He did it!!! Jan Koum who is one of the founders of whatsapp was born and raised in a small village outside of Kiev, Ukraine. He grew up in a home with no electricity or hot water. Koum and his mother immigrated to Mountain View when he was 16. By 18, Koum had taught himself computer networking by buying manuals from a used book store and returning them when he’d finished. The funny thing is that he and co-owner Brian Acton both applied to Facebook for jobs and were rejected. Instead they decided to set up their own venture, Whatsapp, now sold to Facebook for billions. They may have felt rejected and disappointed but there was something better destined for them. Going through a challenging time now? Hold on and keep strong. Do not give up on your dream. You too can make it. It is never too late.
