Sam Biddle · 05/28/14 11:10AMEvan Spiegel, the boyish cofounder and CEO of Snapchat, is dying to be taken seriously. He rejected Mark Zuckerberg, opines like Steve Jobs, and hobnobs with media titans. But Spiegel's undergrad emails—when he began his path to Snapchat—show a different Evan.

Sam Biddle · 01/17/14 01:25PMI understand why Town & Country shoehorned three techies into their "Sexiest Bachelors 2014" list.

Nitasha Tiku · 12/26/13 02:04PMOn Christmas Eve, Gibson Security published information on how to exploit loopholes in Snapchat's security that "allow mass matching of phone numbers with names and mass creation of bogus accounts," reports ZDNet.

After all that jazz, Snapchat confirmed to TechCrunch that it only raised $50 million for its Series C round from a little known hedge fund called Coatue Management. Although Evan Spiegel says the cofounders didn't cash out this time around, Dan Primack has a theory that secondaries might have been sold separately.
