Uber

One of the world's largest social media platforms, with 1.4 billion monthly users, Instagram provides an easy way to connect through images and videos. Launched in 2010 and purchased by Facebook in 2012, Instagram is hugely popular among Millennials and Gen-Xers, making it a powerful channel for advertisers trying to reach those segments.
TikTok
TikTok is a popular app created by Beijing-based firm ByteDance for creating and sharing short videos. Lip-syncing and dancing are among the most popular styles on stage, but many use it for highly creative short films. TikTok, once a favorite among the under-18 crowd, has now gone mainstream.
Airbnb
Airbnb connects hosts who have apartments or rooms to rent and need a place to stay. Today a household name, founder Brian Chesky struggled to keep it afloat, initially getting venture capitalists to invest $150,000 in exchange for 10% of the company. One of the vice-chancellors storms out of a coffee shop meeting with Chesky convinced that he is a lunatic with lost ideas. Oops!
