Zoom founder dreamed of coming to US after hearing Bill Gates speak — now he's a billionaire via CNBCMakeIt
When Eric Yuan was in his early 20s, he heard a speech from then-Microsoft CEO Bill Gates about the promise of the internet, and Yuan decided he wanted to move from China to the US to be a part of the Silicon Valley tech boom.
In an interview with GGV Capital last year, Yuan simply remembers that he was"inspired by this speech" that Gates delivered in Japan on the future of the internet, which was then not yet as ubiquitous as it is today. After listening to Gates, Yuan realized that the internet would be his future as well, and he decided to move to the US to work in the burgeoning tech industry.
Yuan rose through the ranks to become Cisco's vice president of engineering before leaving the company in 2011 to launch Zoom. While founding his current company eight years ago, Yuan says he thought back to his daydreaming train rides in China and realized his idea had come full circle.
