"— ~1 billion users — Never ran an ad — Only 30 full-time employees — He’s the sole director, equity holder and product manager (works directly with every engineer and designer) — No HR (he recruits people through www.contest dot com, a contest platform that pays cash prizes to solve engineering challenges; people that win a lot are considered “the best of the best of the best” and may get an offer to work with Telegram)" wow
