Yahoo! unveiled a new logo this Monday, an attempt at
rebranding to remain in the game, and Alexis Ohanian had an interesting memory
to share.
The Reddit co-founder shared an article that had the
headline: "Yahoo redesigns its logo to remind you that Yahoo exists."
The 36-year-old tech entrepreneur, who is married to Serena
Williams, then recounted a time when Yahoo was a tech giant and he was just
starting his company Reddit and a Yahoo executive told him during a meeting
that his startup company was a "rounding error."
Things turned out positively for him and Reddit became a
successful platform and he now has some words of advice for Yahoo.
He wrote: " Remembering the time in 2005 that
@yahoo exec told me that @reddit was a "rounding error" compared to
them and asked the room why this meeting was even happening. Fight on,
founders. No one will believe in you until you believe in yourself."
He added: "Believe in yourself. Believe in your team.
Be grateful for the haters. Because the race is long."
