Murphy was recruited by Spiegel after they finished working on a failed startup called Future Freshman, a website that helped high school kids get advice when applying to colleges.[1][10] In 2011, Murphy co-founded a disappearing-image messaging app called Picaboo. The name was later changed to Snapchat.[11][12] After graduating from Stanford, Murphy spent a year working as a software engineer at Revel Systems (an iPad point of sale system for restaurants). Until Snapchat could secure venture capital funding, he used half of his paycheck to cover the cost of Snapchat's server bills.[13][14] At Snapchat, Murphy has led the engineering and research teams.[14] Murphy has also worked with Snapchat's Snap Labs team, which produced Spectacles camera glasses in 2018.[15][16] At the time of Snapchat's IPO in 2017, Murphy and Spiegel held over 45% of the company's total stock. They also held over 70% of the voting power.[17] In February 2017, Murphy and Spiegel pledged to donate up to 13,000,000 shares of Class A common stock to their newly created Snap Foundation, which will support the arts, education and youth non-profits, over the course of 15–20 years.[18][19]
