Description

Turning down a $3B offer from Facebook is a bold move for any young CEO. Evan Spiegel shares how Snap’s early dream was to stay independent and give its community an authentic voice, a bet that proved right. He also explains why they are now doubling down on AR glasses and why the anxiety around AI deserves far more attention from tech leaders.
