YouTube was founded by Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim, who were all early employees
of PayPal.[5] Hurley had studied design atIndiana University of Pennsylvania, while Chen and Karim
studied computer science together at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.[6]

According to a story that has often been repeated in the media, Hurley and Chen developed the idea for
YouTube during the early months of 2005, after they had experienced difficulty sharing videos that had
been shot at a dinner party at Chen's apartment in San Francisco. Karim did not attend the party and
denied that it had occurred, while Chen commented that the idea that YouTube was founded after a
dinner party "was probably very strengthened by marketing ideas around creating a story that was very
digestible".[7]
