Alexis Ohanian founded Reddit, became a millionaire at the age of 23
According to CNBC , Reddit is one of the most popular social networks, with the highest traffic in the world. One of the two founders of this social network is Alexis Ohanian. When he was in high school, Alexis Ohanian worked many different jobs because he wanted to step out of his comfort zone and do something for the world.
Ohanian’s first job was a software demo, where he had to explain boring technical models when no one was even listening. Then Ohanian moved to a job as a waiter at Pizza Hut, cooking a few dishes and washing dishes. His time as a waiter taught him the ins and outs of customer service. The young man understood that if a chef messed up in front of customers, a waiter would be at fault too.
In college, Alexis Ohanian majored in History. But then, one day, while eating pancakes, he realized he didn’t like what he was doing and decided to start something. After a while, Ohanian convinced Steve Huffman, a Computer Science student in his room, to build a mobile food ordering app in 2005. When they presented the idea to the investment fund Y Combinator, they were rejected. But fund manager Paul Graham gave them a suggestion: “Design a cover for an Internet newspaper” and it was this advice that led the two co-founders to create Reddit. Later, Reddit became one of the first startups to receive funding from Y Combinator.
In 2006, Condé Nast, the media conglomerate that owns Vogue and Vanity Fair, acquired Reddit for a reported $10-20 million. Alexis Ohanian became a millionaire at age 23. In 2010, he founded an investment firm called Initialized Capital and was recognized as a top investor. Alexis Ohanian was also included on Forbes’ “30 Under 30” list in 2011 and 2012.
