Hi,

Seven years ago, Evan Spiegel co-founded a messaging app called Snapchat as a Stanford undergrad. Last year, he took Snap public, after convincing investors he had created the next Facebook.

Now things are getting more complicated. Spiegel is trying to turn Snap into a company that can deliver reliable revenue and profits — and keep innovating — and keep its grip on the youthful user base that turned it into a powerhouse.

Oh, yeah — Spiegel is also trying to do all that while Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook are gunning directly for him.

So he’s got a lot on his mind. And we’re excited to hear all about it when he comes to the Code Conference in May for one of our signature Red Chair interviews — unrehearsed, unscripted and on the record.

Spiegel joins a powerhouse lineup that includes the CEOs of AT&T, Uber, Airbnb, 21st Century Fox and Stitch Fix.

Hope to see you there!
