## Bio

Chad Meredith Hurley was born January 24, 1977, and landed at eBay's PayPal division early enough to design the original logo. In 2005, he co-founded YouTube with fellow PayPal employees Steve Chen and Jawed Karim, taking the lead on tagging and video-sharing mechanics. The platform caught fire. By October 2006, Google paid $1.65 billion for it. Hurley ran YouTube as CEO until 2010, then stepped into an advisory role. He later co-founded MixBit, a video service that has since closed.
