As CEO, Dorsey saw the startup through two rounds of funding by venture capitalists. Dorsey became Twitter's Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Noah Glass, Evan Williams, and Biz Stone co-founded Odeo, later renamed Obvious Corporation, which then spun off Twitter, Inc. The idea attracted many users at Odeo and investment from Evan Williams, a co-founder of that firm in 2005 who had left Google after selling Pyra Labs and Blogger. Dorsey and Biz Stone decided that SMS text suited the status-message idea, and built a prototype of Twitter in about two weeks. He approached Odeo, which at the time happened to be interested in text messaging. When he first saw implementations of instant messaging, Dorsey wondered whether the software's user status output could be shared easily among friends. In July 2000, building on dispatching and inspired in part by LiveJournal and by AOL Instant Messenger, he had the idea for a Web-based realtime status/short message communication service. His other projects and ideas at this time included networks of medical devices and a "frictionless service market". In 2000, Dorsey started his company in Oakland to dispatch couriers, taxis, and emergency services from the Web. While working on dispatching as a programmer, Dorsey moved to California. He came up with the idea that eventually became Twitter while studying at New York University. Dorsey enrolled at the University of Missouri–Rolla in 1995 and attended for two-plus years before transferring to New York University in 1997, but he dropped out two years later, one semester short of graduating. By age 14, he had become interested in dispatch routing. In his younger days, he worked occasionally as a fashion model. ĭorsey attended Bishop DuBourg High School.
