Discord CEO on reported Microsoft bid: We did receive a lot of offers.
Summary
Discord CEO and co-founder Jason Citron cant talk about it — hes under non-disclosure agreements — but he did tell CNBC on Tuesday that there was more than a single offer for his internet chat start-up, which is turning into a much bigger communications phenomenon for voice, video and text. Users are talking about TV shows on Discord, and many other communities of interest, from photography enthusiasts to people focused on learning a foreign language, are on the platform. "Last year was quite an outlier for many technology companies and ... all of humanity," Citron said, and he added that resulted in a doubling of its user base and tripling of revenue. The Discord CEO thinks the future will be one in which it continues to win by creating a better user interface for the equivalent of physical rooms on the internet, not just messaging technology.
