Snapchat

There would not be a trend of using a wide variety of silly filters on our photos nowadays if it wasn’t because of Snapchat. Bobby Murphy and Evan Spiegel launched the app in 2011, unaware of how massive the app will be. As of the moment, Snapchat is known to be worth more than $20 billion. And just like any other company, Tencent also reached out for Snapchat. The tech giant paid more than $2 billion to get a 10% stake in Snapchat in hopes of getting a return. Tencent also helped Snapchat in developing augmented reality features thanks to their expertise in technology.

Ingram Micro

Ingram Micro had its start as a small tech product distributor in 1979. Because of this, it later grew into a billion-dollar company. Ingram Micro was able to take over a Belgium company called Softinvest in the early ‘90s, which gave Ingram the chance to distribute HP products and have an even bigger foothold in the market. A Chinese company called Tianjin Tianhai later bought Ingram Micro for $6 billion in 2016, which gave Ingram an even bigger international presence.
