Jan Creater of Whatsapp

From Welfare to WhatsApp

Jan ( co-founder whatsapp) , who turns 38 this year, was just a teenager when he emigrated to the U.S. from a small village outside Kiev, Ukraine. Life in rural Kiev, a city that is currently rife with political tension and mass protests, was not easy. Jan's home had no hot water, and his parents refused to use the phone, which was tapped by the government. Once in the U.S., he taught himself computer networking by reading manuals bought from a used bookstore.

In 1997, he met his future WhatsApp cofounder, Brian, who convinced Jan to join Yahoo! even though he was still in college. Jan became an infrastructure engineer at Yahoo! and dropped out of San Jose State University. The two still describe themselves as "two guys who spent combined 20 years doing geeky stuff at Yahoo! Inc. before starting WhatsApp Inc." on the company's About page.

The Forbes piece includes a photo of Jan signing the billion-dollar Facebook deal on the doors of his old welfare office in Mountain View, Calif.—a perfect full-circle summation of his rags-to-riches journey.

A Company With A Unique Vision

WhatsApp had a completely refreshing outlook on messaging between smartphones. Privacy was Jan's priority, first and foremost. The service has remained largely the same since 2009, with just a few more bells and whistles in its latest incarnation.

A user does not have to submit information like his or her name, gender, address, or age—just a phone number. No fancy username is required for WhatsApp; users log in with a 10-digit number. WhatsApp borrowed elements from instant messaging like status updates and "read" receipts (long before iMessage incorporated that feature).

Jan was interested in disrupting the way cell phone carriers nickeled-and-dimed customers for text messaging, which was especially useful for those looking to connect with loved ones overseas. The app quickly built a following in Europe and other international communities. By early 2011, WhatsApp was an App Store superstar, reaching the top 20, and has remained in the top 10 free apps ever since.
