4. YouTube was created by three former PayPal employees in
February of 2005. Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim
are the three original developers. Chad Hurley and Steve Chen
developed the idea for YouTube during the early months of
2005.
After Hurley and Chen experienced great difficulty, while trying
to upload videos, that had been shot at a dinner party at Chen's
apartment in San Francisco, onto the internet amongst each
other. This experience lead to the three’s need to develop an
easier way to share videos.
YouTube began as a venture-funded technology startup,
primarily from a US $11.5 million investment by Sequoia
Capital between November 2005 and April 2006
