5 busness ideas what became profit

Apple, Facebook, Google, SpaceX - all these projects began as simple experiments - these ideas seemed just crazy, but they tried to implement them anyway. In this article i want to tell about succesfull startup iseas what gave to their creator very big profit.

   First would be twitter. Now almost everyone has it. Previously, Twitter was a small side project by Odeo. It was originally used as an SMS service for a small group of employees. The project did not seem interesting to the press and investors, despite the support of CEO Evan Williams. Now Mark Cukenberg is one of richest man in the world.

  Second would be Oculus company. There are many stories about how well-known companies began their journey in garages: Apple, Google, Amazon, HP. And Oculus. After a long day at the University of California Mixed Reality (MXR) Laboratory, founder Palmer Lucky went to the garage to try and build the future of virtual reality. After one of the most successful Kickstarter campaigns, Lucky quit his job, dropped out of school, and sold Facebook to Oculus for $ 2.4 billion, $ 400 million in real money, and $ 2 billion in Facebook shares (before they even got the product).

   Third would be Khan academy. During the training of his relatives, the founder of the Khan Academy educational platform Salman Khan received a slightly ambiguous compliment: his students invited him to meet online, rather than personally. Khan did not ignore this remark, it only stuck in his head. Therefore, he began to shoot ten-minute videos on Youtube about various subjects - from biology to art. At the same time, he worked as a hedge fund analyst. When activity on Youtube began to gain momentum, Khan left work, and now under his leadership more than 100 employees.

   fourth would be Git hub. “It all started with a domain, a cheap server from Slicehost, and some exchange art.” Before GitHub became a $ 1 billion company, its founders Chris Vanstras and PJ Hiett designed websites for the computer technology portal CNET. They did not like the fact that it was so difficult to make changes to open source codes. Therefore, they created their own repository, working at night and on weekends. To date, their side project has hundreds of millions in venture capital and approximately 20 million users.

   Fifth would be Instagram. Have you ever heard of Burbn, an application for whiskey lovers that allowed you to check in at various places and post photos from your meetings? We did not hear either. But it is likely that you used one of the functions that appeared thanks to this application. People almost did not check in the application. They just posted photos there - and not just whiskey. With the help of these people, the founders decided to launch a side project of the application only for sharing photos. On the first day, 25,000 people registered in the application, and now about 800 million people worldwide use Instagram every month. Yes, and Instagram was acquired by Facebook for $ 1 billion.
