Kroll will be taking the helm of the year-old startup from co-founder Rus Yusupov, who will take over as the company’s chief creative officer, according to Digiday. The promotion of Kroll comes despite a past stint at Twitter that ended with allegations of “creepy” and “inappropriate” interactions with female colleagues.
Kroll was fired by Twitter in early 2014 for being a “bad manager” after the company acquired his startup Vine, Recode reported in December, citing numerous former female colleagues who said his behavior made them feel uncomfortable.

NEW YORK (JTA) — Trivia is having a major moment — and that’s thanks, in large part, to Scott Rogowsky.
The Jewish comedian has played a huge role in the runaway success of HQ Trivia, the iPhone app turned massive phenomenon that now has some 500,000 people glued to their iPhones at 3 p.m. and 9 p.m. every weekday for a chance to feel smart and win money.
HQ Trivia is presented in the format of a game show — it’s hosted live by Rogowsky from New York twice a day. The app was created in August by Rus Yusupov and Colin Kroll, the founders of video-sharing site Vine, and it works like this: At the appointed times, users take a stab at correctly answering 12 multiple choice questions (which start easy but rapidly become more difficult). Those who answer all 12 questions correctly split a pot of prize money, which typically ranges from $1,500 to $12,000.

Peter Thiel's VC firm is reportedly planning to lead a $15 million investment into HQ Trivia at a $100 million valuation
Founders Fund partner Cyan Banister is leading the talks and would join HQ Trivia's company board as part of the terms of the investment, according to Recode's sources.
The livestreamed quiz show app, co-founded by Vine and Twitter alum Colin Kroll and Rus Yusupov, debuted in November 2017 and regularly receives more than 1 million players per game. The app garnered interest from investors early on, though some of that interest was said to simmer following a December report alleging a history of misconduct and "creepy" behavior toward women by Kroll. According to Recode, Founders Fund investigated the allegations.
The round reportedly hasn't closed. Founders Fund was not immediately available to comment on the fundraising report.

Rus Yusupov bijna vergeten te noemen. Co-Founder van de (zeer) bekende iphone App die het stokje van Colin overnam.
Rus Yusupov is an American designer and tech entrepreneur. He is the former CEO[1] now the CCO[2] of HQ Trivia, a daily, appointment-based trivia game that broadcasts live to mobile phones.
Yusupov was born in Dushanbe, Tajik SSR, Soviet Union (present-day Dushanbe, Tajikistan) in 1984 to a Bukharan Jewish Family. After the Revolutions of 1989 the Family moved to New York, Yusupov grew up in New York and graduated from the School of Visual Arts (SVA) with a BFA in Graphic Design.
Early career
Yusupov began his career as a digital product designer at firms including Razorfish and R/GA, where he worked on projects including as the lead designer on the first version of Hulu.com in 2007.[3] In 2008, he founded Big Human,[1] a design and engineering studio based in New York City. Big Human's clients include Time.com, Urban Dictionary, Jetsetter, Time Warner and Fortune, among others.[4]
Vine
See main article:Vine
In June 2012, Yusupov co-founded Vine, a looping, short-form video service.[5] Vine was sold to Twitter in October 2012 for a reported $30 million,[6] shortly before the service's official launch. In 2013, Vine hit number one on the App store for free downloads and become the most used video sharing application in the market at the time.[7] Yusupov left Twitter in late 2015 after Vine was deprioritized by Twitter. Yusupov later tweeted, "Don't sell your company!"[8][9]
Intermedia Labs
After leaving Twitter, Yusupov co-founded Intermedia Labs, an app studio, in 2015.[10]
The first app developed by Intermedia Labs was Hype, a platform wherein users had the ability to share a variety of multimedia content into a live broadcast.[10]
Subsequent apps developed by Intermedia Labs include Bounce,[10] an app that allows users to "remix" videos, and HQ Trivia, an appointment-based trivia game that broadcasts live to mobile phones.[10]
HQ Trivia
Main article: HQ Trivia
HQ Trivia, Intermedia's most successful app to-date, was released in August 2017.[10] The game averages 700,000-1,000,000 viewers for each broadcast.[11] HQ is available worldwide on the iOS App Store and Google Play, with live shows targeted to North American, Australian, and UK audiences.[12]
The app takes the form of a live game show, played at 9 PM Eastern Time every day, and 3 PM Eastern Time on weekdays. The host of the show asks a series of (usually) twelve multiple choice questions, each with three possible answers. Those players who get the questions correct within the 10 second limit move on, the rest are eliminated. The players that correctly answer the final question split the prize money. This prize is currently $5,000 for most games, but it has been as high as $400,000 on one occasion.[13]
According to a 2017 article from The Daily Beast, Yusupov threatened to fire HQ host Scott Rogowsky if the website chose to run a profile on Rogowsky's rise to fame via HQ. Yusupov later claimed the accusations were false.

Veel te vroeg maar zo gaat dat. De gemiddelde persoon in dit werk mag blij zijn 35 jaar te worden. De bedrijven zijn allemaal gekoppeld aan Alphabet.
