The First Lady in a lovely purple dress talking with Mike Krieger, co-founder of Instagram.
In honor of the one year anniversary of Startup America, the First Lady spoke with Mike Krieger, the co-founder of Instagram, the fastest growing social mobile startup in the U.S. today. He exemplifies President Obama's belief that "entrepreneurs embody the promise of America: the idea that if you have a good idea and are willing to work hard and see it through, you can succeed in this country. And in fulfilling this promise, entrepreneurs also play a critical role in expanding our economy and creating jobs."
Mr. Krieger moved from Brazil to California to attend Stanford University, where he studied computer science and cognitive science. In 2010, he and a partner founded Instagram, which now employs a talented, growing team of designers and engineers. After graduation, Mr. Krieger worked for a year on his student F-1 visa, later applying for and receiving an H-1B visa as a high-skill worker. Mr. Krieger wants to permanently stay in the U.S. and has applied for a green card.
Okay, this guy is straight up crazy, but he looks like a lot of fun.
