\nStewart Butterfield s-a n\u0103scut \u00een Lund, Canada, \u00een 1973, \u00een familia Normei \u015fi a lui David Butterfield. El a crescut \u00een condi\u0163ii grele, dup\u0103 ce tat\u0103l s\u0103u a decis s\u0103 fug\u0103 din Statele Unite \u00een Canada, pentru a evita s\u0103 lupte \u00een r\u0103zboiul din Vietnam. Familia a locuit o perioad\u0103 \u00eentr-o barac\u0103 de lemn dintr-o p\u0103dure \u015fi, timp de trei ani, nu a avut ap\u0103 curent\u0103 \u015fi electricitate.<\/p>\n
\nPe c\u00e2nd Butterfield avea cinci ani, p\u0103rin\u0163ii s\u0103i au decis s\u0103 se mute \u00een Victoria, Canada. Tot atunci, antreprenorul a primit primul s\u0103u computer \u015fi a \u00eenceput s\u0103 \u00eenve\u0163e programare, folosindu-se de publica\u0163ii cu profil tehnic. Ini\u0163ial, a creat jocuri simple.<\/p>\n
\n\u00cen perioada liceului \u015fi-a pierdut \u00eens\u0103 interesul pentru computere \u015fi a decis s\u0103 studieze filosofia la Universitatea Victoria. A urmat apoi un program masteral la Cambridge, \u00een Marea Britanie.<\/p>\n
\n\u00cen 1997, c\u00e2nd se preg\u0103tea s\u0103 aplice pentru un post de profesor de filosofie, internetul a prins av\u00e2nt \u015fi tot mai mul\u0163i prieteni de-ai s\u0103i s-au \u00eendreptat spre domenii din mediul online. Aici se c\u00e2\u015ftiga de dou\u0103-trei ori mai mult dec\u00e2t \u00een \u00eenv\u0103\u0163\u0103m\u00e2nt, lucru ce l-a motivat s\u0103 renun\u0163e la ideea de a deveni profesor \u015fi s\u0103 se \u00eentoarc\u0103 la vechea sa pasiune.<\/p>\n
\nDup\u0103 ce a lucrat ca web designer timp de c\u00e2\u0163iva ani, \u00een 2002 a \u00eenfiin\u0163at compania de jocuri online Ludicorp, \u00eempreun\u0103 cu, so\u0163ia sa, Caterina Fake, cu care a fost c\u0103s\u0103torit timp de \u015fase ani, \u00eentre 2001 \u015fi 2007. Jocul nu a avut \u00eens\u0103 succesul scontat, a\u015fa c\u0103 cei doi \u015fi-au pierdut to\u0163i banii.<\/p>\n
\nTotu\u015fi, nu au abandonat ideea de a face bani \u00een online, a\u015fa c\u0103 \u00een 2004 au lansat Flickr, un serviciu care permitea depozitarea \u015fi utilizarea ulterioar\u0103 de c\u0103tre utilizatori a fotografiilor digitale \u015fi a clipurilor video.<\/p>\n
\n\u00cen acea perioad\u0103, tot mai multe companii lansau telefoane cu camer\u0103 foto \u015fi din ce \u00een ce mai mul\u0163i oameni se abonau la servicii de internet, ceea ce a impulsionat cre\u015fterea companiei. Un an mai t\u00e2rziu, \u00een 2005, fondatorii Flickr au v\u00e2ndut firma c\u0103tre Yahoo, pentru suma de 25 de milioane de dolari. Butterfield a spus, ulterior, c\u0103 a fost o decizie gre\u015fit\u0103, deoarece ar fi putut ob\u0163ine o sum\u0103 mult mai mare dac\u0103 ar mai fi a\u015fteptat o perioad\u0103.<\/p>\n
\n\u00cen 2009, dup\u0103 ce a experimentat un nou e\u015fec cu un joc online, lui Butterfield i-a venit ideea de a crea Slack, o platform\u0103 de comunicare \u00een re\u0163ea, destinat\u0103 \u00een special angaja\u0163ilor companiilor. \u00cen prezent, platforma are 8 milioane de utilizatori zilnic. Dintre ace\u015ftia, 3 milioane opteaz\u0103 pentru servicii avansate cu plat\u0103 \u015fi peste 70.000 de clien\u0163i sunt reprezenta\u0163i de corpora\u0163ii. IBM, Samsung, 21st Century Fox \u015fi Marks & Spencer sunt doar c\u00e2teva dintre numele mari care folosesc Slack, evaluat\u0103 acum la peste 5 miliarde de dolari. Principalii \u201erivali\u201d ai platformei Slack sunt un serviciu gratuit oferit de Microsoft, inclus \u00een pachetul Office 365, dar \u015fi Zoom, o platform\u0103 care ofer\u0103 servicii la un pre\u0163 asem\u0103n\u0103tor. \u00cen 2015, Slack a fost numit\u0103 compania anului de c\u0103tre Inc. Magazine.<\/p>\n
\nStewart Butterfield de\u0163ine o avere de aproape 2 miliarde de dolari, \u00eens\u0103, \u00een ciuda acestui fapt, \u00eencearc\u0103 s\u0103 tr\u0103iasc\u0103 c\u00e2t mai simplu: \u201eM\u0103 simt cu adev\u0103rat vinovat c\u00e2nd cheltuiesc prea mul\u0163i bani\u201d, spune antreprenorul. El are o fiic\u0103 n\u0103scut\u0103 \u00een 2007, din c\u0103s\u0103toria cu Caterina Fake.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
