Google tried to buy this zero-revenue startup for $1 Billion. Then Mark Zuckerberg countered with a $19 BILLION offer & everyone called him insane. Now, that "startup" is used by 2 Billion people. How Mark Zuckerburg quietly made the best tech investment ever: In June 2009, Apple’s iOS 3.0 introduced push notifications. Most overlooked it, but WhatsApp’s founders saw revolutionary potential for real-time messaging. Their genius innovation? Using phone numbers as usernames. • No "create username" • No "forgot password" • No "find friends" Your phone book WAS your social network. By 2014, WhatsApp was a beast: • Adding 1M new users DAILY • 70% daily active users (higher than Facebook) Then came the dinner that changed everything: Larry Page had already offered $1B for WhatsApp. Zuck made his pitch: You're building the future of communication. We're building the future of connection. Together, we could connect everyone on Earth. The price? $19 billion. Follow for more
