No ads. No games. No gimmicks. Just messaging.

I grew up in a village near Kyiv with no phone. Now 2 billion people use the communication tool I built.

We both applied to work at Facebook and got rejected. Then we built something Facebook paid $19 billion for.

$19 billion seemed insane in 2014. It was a bargain.

I walked away from $850 million in unvested stock because I couldn't watch them put ads in WhatsApp.

Encryption isn't a feature. It's a right. Every message on WhatsApp is end-to-end encrypted.
