HIGHLIGHTS: Evan Spiegel - CEO of Snap

Hi everybody, tune in to this short version of the podcast, which we do every Friday. For the long version, tune in on Wednesdays. Hi everybody, I'm Nikola Tangen, the CEO of the Norwegian Sober Renfread Fund, and today I'm really thrilled. I'm here with uh Evan Spiegel, the co-founder and CEO of Snap, the company behind the very popular Snapchat. Now, it's used by nearly a billion people every day.

Uh he was 22 years old, turned down a $3 billion offer from Mark Zuckerberg. and has continued to build a company, which, by the way, in Norway of all places was one of your first really, really big markets. So fantastic to have you here. Thanks so much, Nicola. It's great to be on the on the show.

And yeah, we now reach more than 3 million Norwegians. So very proud to uh serve the Norwegian people. Now it started as an idea that uh most people were thought was like totally ridiculous. A photo that disappears just after you look at it. So where the heck did that idea come from?
