The way we connect with our friends, fund our businesses, shop online, and catch up on the latest news have changed dramatically in the past decade. Founders on the cutting edge of social media, crowdfunding, e-commerce, business services and online publishing are radically changing the way we behave online — but how much do we know about them? How did the people altering the digital landscape get their start, and where will they go next?
Founder Stories, our new animated web series presented by Johnnie Walker, looks at the personal narratives of the founders who are leading their competitors in innovation. For the first installment, The Observer focuses on three trailblazers whose technology and business models are pioneering the way consumers, organizations and communities manage their day-to-day lives.
