Meet Jawed Karim. No one talks about him. He’s not flashy. He doesn’t tweet motivational quotes. He’s not even active on Instagram. But he’s the co-founder of YouTube. And get this — he uploaded the first video ever on the platform. 🎥 It’s called “Me at the zoo” Length? 19 seconds. Quality? Trash. Impact? WORLD-CHANGING. He walked away quietly… While others took the spotlight. But without him — no MrBeast, no makeup tutorials, no YouTube careers. Crazy, right? 👇 Have YOU ever heard of Jawed Karim before this post? Tell me in the comments. Let’s see how many actually knew. #FoundersYouDidntKnow #StartupStories #YouTubeHistory #HiddenGenius

♾️ In 2006, Zuck once turned down $1B for Facebook because he believed in his vision. Now, he’s offering $1B+ to top AI talent—and they’re turning him down for the same reason. In the end, loyalty and mission still matter most in tech.
