A young CEO once rejected $1.5 BILLION💵 from Mark Zuckerberg… and then watched Zuck try to crush him. But It didn’t work. Today, that same company is worth over $45 BILLION.💵 Let’s rewind:⚔️ November 2013 — A 23-year-old startup🚀 founder takes a flight✈️ to LA 🌃for a mysterious meeting with Facebook’s 26-year-old CEO, Mark Zuckerberg. At the time: Facebook = $104B beast🔥 His startup? Just a 2-year-old app. Revenue? Zero. Nada.🔻 Zuckerberg puts a $1.5B💵 all-cash offer on the table. The response? “No thanks.” Just like that. Cold. Quick. Confident. Everyone around him thought he’d lost it. Zuck didn’t take it lightly. He launched “Poke” — a near-carbon copy of the startup. The message was loud: “Either sell… or get stomped.” But here’s what that young founder knew: 350 million snaps sent every day 71% of users were under 25💥 The average user opened the app 18+ times daily💥 Gen Z was slipping from Facebook’s hands… and landing straight into his app. Despite the attack, “Poke” flopped hard. In 2014, Zuckerberg came back with double the offer: $3 BILLION.💵 The board was sweating. Investors were begging. But again… “No.” People called him arrogant. Naive. Reckless. Today? He’s Evan Spiegel. CEO of Snapchat. And that “reckless” decision? The clones failed. The company thrived. Snapchat now sits comfortably at a $45B+ valuation.💵 ❤️like this post if you like it 🚀
