Drew Houston
Drew Houston is the co-founder and CEO of Dropbox, the cloud storage and productivity company he built from a bus-ride frustration in 2006 into a NASDAQ-listed business with over 700 million registered users and ~$2.5B in annual revenue. A MIT computer science graduate who started coding at age 5, Houston famously turned down a ~$250M acquisition offer from Steve Jobs in 2009 and has spent nearly two decades transforming Dropbox from a file-sync tool into an AI-powered universal workspace. In 2024, he and his wife Erin signed The Giving Pledge, committing the majority of their ~$2.4B fortune to education and entrepreneurship causes.
