In 2005, Steve Huffman and Alexis Ohanian co-founded Reddit as part of the first-ever Y Combinator accelerator class—while still in college! 🎓 What started as late nights of coding and gaming 🎼 turned into one of the most influential platforms on the internet.

💡 Within 18 months, Reddit was acquired by Advance Publications (owner of CondĂ© Nast) for $10M. Today, Advance remains the largest shareholder, holding 22.63% of the company.

Reddit hosts over 100,000 forums, all managed by its passionate users. The platform gained mainstream fame with its @wallstreetbets forum, playing a key role in the 2021 GameStop “meme stock” frenzy 🚀💰.

Oh, and about Alexis being excluded from Reddit’s S-1 filing? He just responded with this: ¯\(ツ)/¯.
