Look at this YouTube. It is perhaps the best commercial you've ever seen, and the most spectacular is the fact that it is made by the users themselves, the customer’s content... That's a great product!
GoPro, probably a way of life.
Nicholas Woodman, creator of the popular GoPro video camera, joined the ranks of the world’s billionaires last year after selling an 8.9 percent stake in his company to Foxconn Technology Group. Foxconn, the Taiwanese manufacturer of iPhones, iPads and PlayStations, expects to have the opportunity to become a supplier for GoPro equipment.
The purchase for $200 million values Woodman Labs Inc. at $2.25 billion. Woodman, the founder and chief executive officer, owns 77 percent of the company.
To go from zero to $600 million in sales since 2003 and a valuation of $2 billion in such a short time is quite remarkable.
