Part 5/9:
In recounting the company’s history, the founder reflects on a period when Craigslist's equity was handed over to an individual with an expectation of performance, ultimately leading to a sale to eBay that did not align with the company's vision. After regaining control, the founder transitioned part of Craigslist into a 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization. This strategic move allows for continued funding of charitable endeavors while securing some financial stability for personal needs and family obligations.
