There is a founding story ourt of a storybook. In less than a year the founder set up a plattform with the only purpose: to share selfmade videos. The rest almost everybody knows, it became rapidly popular, some outrage videos gained the public attention, dozens of articles were written and the big companies dissembled interesst in quest for new potential consumer groups. Then quickly and surprisingly Google appeard on the scene spent a rediculous amount of money after realising that small youtube bet the Google Video portal and is know expanding with it all over the world.

So for a brief abstract, but what only the few know is that the two founder Chad Hurley and Steve Chen were not alone. There was a thrid co-founder named Jawed Karim a college mate of Chen. The three work at Paypal later on and left the ebay company to make up an internet startup. The idea came by chance and was born after Janet Jackson exposed her breast during the Superbowl show. Significantly this incident is now inappropiate to show in on Youtube.

Anyway after the portal was designed and coded and a few month later the first details with Google were fixed Jawed withdraw from the managing business to graduate computer studies at Standford. The son of a Bangladeshi father and a german mother is one of the biggest shareholder of 4^th most popular page worldwide.

Jawed never appeared on frontpages when the big deal was announced and he never appeared when it came to around 1,6 Billion dollar but to the USA Today he said once: “I definitely thought that this was a possible outcome, but I didn’t think it was the most likely outcome.” A very bold declaration, lets see what comes next, Jawed plans more startups.
