With his fine arts degree in tow, Chad successfully launched one of the world's most popular sites, proving that creativity and marketing are just as powerful as the super knowledge of a computer engineer. Chad will discuss how his fine arts education and passion for design helped him to build YouTube.
As any successful entrepreneur will tell you, the thrill is in the search. Chad began his career as one of the 10 employees at PayPal, leaving to start-up YouTube and then launch MixBit. Chad will speak about the entrepreneur's drive to find the next big thing once you have had a taste of success and share his steps to execute your idea.
The key to a successful product is identifying a gap in the market and creating a product to address it. When Chad realized the Internet lacked a place to effectively distribute and share video, he created YouTube. His new endeavor, MixBit, was born from this philosophy, capitalizing on the absence of user-friendly tools to create content. Chad will discuss the challenges he faced launching YouTube and MixBit and share the lessons he's learned.
