[www.keralites.net] Amazing rags-to-riches story of WhatsApp founder Jan Koum [1 Attachment]

 

Amazing rags-to-riches story of WhatsApp founder Jan Koum :-

It has been an incredible journey for Jan Koum who lived on food stamps as a teenager.

He led a life full of hardships as his family struggled hard to meet ends meet. His house did not even have electricity, says Forbes.

Jan Koum used to do menial jobs like cleaning and mopping at a grocery store while his mother took up a baby sitting job. Life took a tragic turn when his mother was diagnosed with cancer.

They lived on allowances from the government, according to Forbes.

Jan Koum

The idea was to get people across the world to network on a single platform effortlessly.


It took him months of back-breaking work and testing to get the code in place.There were several trying times when things would not fall in place.

Koum had even thought of giving up the idea but Brian Acton convinced him to try it for a few months. Initially, the messaging service was tried on phones of his Russian friends.


Another fascinating aspect is, WhatsApp runs lean with just 32 engineers. One WhatsApp developer supports 14 million active users, a ratio unheard of in the industry, Jim Goetz explains in a blog on Sequoia Capital's website.

Jan Koum who dislikes any kind of publicity, has even refused to put up a sign board outside their WhatsApp office.

The most interesting part of their journey is that both Jan Koum and Brian Acton applied for a job in Facebook and were rejected in 2009.
