After co-founding Twitter five short years ago, Isaac “Biz” Stone is moving on to more charitable pastures.
Yesterday, Stone announced that while he’ll continue to work with the company “for many years to come,” he won’t be working with them any longer on a daily basis, and instead he’s shifting his focus to “helping schools, nonprofits, and company advisory boards.”
Aside from all of that, he’s also going to relaunch his company Obvious Corp. with his Twitter co-founder Evan Williams, in an effort to come up with new projects. Perhaps a new revolutionary social media tool? Maybe a device that records our thoughts and sends them out to the world instantaneously??? LOLz.
In all seriousness, we give Biz major credit for making this move. It can be really difficult to take a giant leap and pursue something new and exciting when you’ve got such a safe and secure position, but often the results can be SO worth it!
Best of luck, Biz! We can’t wait to hear where your new intellectual travels take you!
Do U think Biz Stone is making the right move? Or should he stick with a good tweet thing?
