The WhatsApp Story - Rejected 5 Ago Years By Facebook, Now we Worth $19 Billion Dollars

WhatsApp feature has been all the rage with smartphone users all over the world. Here in Kenya, the app has drastically reduced the number of direct text messages sent as many are now opting to use the app which is seen cool and trendy.
The acquisition of the App by Facebook was the trending topic. But the WhatsApp journey has not been all that smooth.
WhatsApp Inc. was founded in 2009 by Americans Brian Acton and Jan Koum (also the CEO). Their App and even them themselves were shunned by a lot of people and firms including...you guessed it...Facebook.
Five years a go. Jan posted this on a forum and he was completely ignored

Brian Acton also faced it rough when he was also rejected by Facebook in 2009. This was his tweet in 2009.

 

He was also rejected by Twitter

 

So no matter what you do do not give up
