Albergotti and Macmillan tell the story of Jan Koum of WhatsApp who immigrated from Ukraine as a teenager in 1992, and settled wih his mother in Silicon Valley. His interest in messaging apps stemmed from his interest in staying in touch with extended family in Ukraine, Russia and Israel, after losing his mother to cancer and his dad passing away in Ukraine before making it to the U.S. He met Brian Acton at San Jose State University, where he studied programming, and the two founded WhatsApp in 2009. In the early years after 1992, before joining Yahoo following graduation, Koum lived on food stamps.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
