Was this hubris or genius?In How to turn down a billion dollars, Billy Gallagher takes us inside the rise of one of Silicon Valleyâ€™s hottest start-ups. Snapchat began as a late-night dorm room revelation before Spiegel went on to make a name for himself as a visionary CEO worth billions, linked to celebrities like Taylor Swift and his fiancÃ©e, Miranda Kerr.A fellow Stanford undergrad and fraternity brother of the companyâ€™s founding trio, Billy Gallagher has covered Snapchat from the start. His inside account offers an entertaining trip through the excess and drama of the hazy early days with a professional insight into the challenges Snapchat faces as it transitions from a playful app to one of the tech industryâ€™s preeminent public companies. In the tradition of great business narratives, How to Turn Down a Billion Dollars offers the definitive account of a company whose goal is no less than to remake the future of entertainment.
