Overview
Snapchat was founded in 2011 by Evan Spiegel, Bobby Murphy, and Reggie Brown. They were all college students that worked together with different aptitudes to make the company happen. Brown is believed to conceive the idea while Spiegel had the marketing know how. Murphy was (and still is) the brains behind the coding. Spiegel is currently the CEO, and Murphy is the CTO.
