Anyone who has ever used Twitter, eaten a plant-based product from Beyond Meat, adjusted the temperature using a Nest thermostat, researched a pin on Pinterest, communicated via Slack or paid for a meal using Square has one person to thank: Biz Stone.
The lifelong technologist (pictured) has been either a co-founder or an early investor in these and numerous other firms over an entrepreneurial career that started in 1999 with Xanga, his first startup. It was at Google Inc. in the early 2000s that Stone worked with another ambitious entrepreneur, Evan Williams, but both became disenchanted at the big company and left to work on a podcasting platform named Odeo, whose other employee was Jack Dorsey.
