It took just 32 developers to grow Whatsapp to 450m users!
“No ads! No games! No gimmicks!”
A simple principle which helped a small messaging application win over giants like iMessage, WeChat, Facebook Messenger, Snapchat, LINE, Kik Messenger, Kakao-Talk, and many others – while operating with a staff of just 32 developers.
Whatsapp’s history needs to be heard as it is not like any usual startup story where the founders had an idea that made them drop out from their colleges, build a team, and get pre-seed funding from a giant like Facebook or Google.
WhatsApp was conceptualised not by college students but by people who were in their thirties and had a stable job with a renowned company.

Minecraft | A cultural phenomenon
Markus Persson, also known as “Notch,” single-handedly created the initial version of Minecraft in 2009. He developed the game entirely on his own, working from his home in Sweden.
Persson’s vision was to create a sandbox game that allowed players to explore and build in an infinite virtual world. With its simple yet addictive gameplay and pixelated graphics, Minecraft quickly gained a dedicated following among gamers. Despite being a solo developer, Persson actively engaged with the Minecraft community, incorporating player feedback and suggestions into the game’s development.
His transparent and collaborative approach to game development fostered a strong sense of community among Minecraft players, leading to the creation of user-generated content and mods that further enriched the gaming experience. As Minecraft grew in popularity, Persson co-founded Mojang Studios with Carl Manneh and Jakob Porser in 2010 to handle the game’s development and distribution. However, it was Persson’s initial solo efforts and creative vision that laid the foundation for Minecraft’s success and its status as one of the best-selling video games of all time. In 2014, Persson sold Mojang Studios to Microsoft for $2.5 billion, cementing Minecraft’s legacy as a cultural phenomenon.

Coinbase | Largest and most well-known cryptocurrency exchange
Coinbase is a fascinating example of a company that started with a small team and grew into a global leader in the cryptocurrency industry.
Founded in 2012 by Brian Armstrong and Fred Ehrsam, Coinbase began with a simple mission: to make buying, selling, and storing cryptocurrencies accessible to everyone. At the time, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin were still relatively niche and unfamiliar to the general public, and existing exchanges were often complex and difficult to use.
Armstrong and Ehrsam, both with backgrounds in computer science and finance, saw an opportunity to simplify the process of buying and selling cryptocurrencies, making it easier for individuals and businesses to participate in the emerging digital economy.

Chobani | Working out of a shuttered yogurt factory in NY
Chobani is a remarkable example of a company that started with a small team and transformed into a major player in the food industry.
Founded in 2005 by Hamdi Ulukaya, a Turkish immigrant, Chobani began with a small team of dedicated employees working out of a shuttered yogurt factory in upstate New York. Ulukaya, who had a background in cheese making, was inspired by the lack of high-quality, authentic Greek yogurt options available in the United States. With a passion for yogurt and a vision to bring Greek yogurt to the masses, Ulukaya set out to create a brand that would prioritize quality, taste, and innovation.
Despite having limited resources and no prior experience in the yogurt industry, Ulukaya and his small team worked tirelessly to develop a unique recipe for Greek yogurt that would set Chobani apart from competitors. They focused on using only natural ingredients and traditional yogurt-making techniques, resulting in a product that was thicker, creamier, and more nutritious than other yogurts on the market.

Despite having limited resources and no prior experience in the fashion industry, Ben and his small team poured their hearts and souls into creating high-quality, performance-driven activewear that would resonate with fitness enthusiasts like themselves. They focused on innovative designs, cutting-edge fabrics, and a relentless commitment to quality, setting Gymshark apart from traditional sportswear brands.
