How Does WhatsApp Make Money?

This mini-movie tells the story of WhatsApp, and the insane journey of Brian Acton & Jan Koum. Imagine this: you go for a job at Facebook and get rejected. A few years later, Facebook buy your company for $19 billion dollars. Well, for WhatsApp founders Brian and Jan, that’s exactly what happened. Unfortunately, for WhatsApp’s users, the story perhaps doesn’t have quite such a happy ending…

The story of how WhatsApp was built and scaled is both fascinating and worrying.

The moral of the story is that… Nothing in life is ever for free!

When someone offers you something for free, it’s often too good to be true, or you may unwittingly become their customer.
