The Disruptor In The Valley
In 2006, after their first startup, Kiko, was rendered obsolete by Google, Justin Kan and Emmett Shear sold what remained of their company on eBay for $258,000. Unsure of their next move, they sought advice from Paul Graham, who helped them devise a plan to create Justin.tv. Today, Justin.tv is the web's largest portal for live video, boasting 31 million users per month and backed by $7.2 million in venture capital.
