Reddit Co-Founder Alexis Ohanian Steps Aside, Focuses on Initialized Capital
Alexis Ohanian, the 34-year-old cofounder of the popular social networking site, said he's stepping away from daily duties at Reddit in order to focus on his attention on Initialized Capital, an early-stage venture firm he also cofounded seven years ago. The Wall Street Journal was first to report the move. "We aspire to be the kind of investors we wish we'd had when we were founders," he said in a statement posted to his venture firm's site. "After more than three years of serving back at Reddit, my first 'baby' is in a much better place and has a great team in place." Reddit, the sixth-most trafficked site on the web and often referred to as "the front page of the internet," has struggled for years against bad behavior among some of its users. On Wednesday, the site introduced rules meant to crack down on involuntary pornography and deepfakes. In 2015, the company began banning some communities, such as "fatpeoplehate," saying they violated its anti-harassment policies. Some users began to revolt, leading then-CEO Ellen Pao to step down. Steve Huffman, who cofounded Reddit with Ohanian in 2005, took the reins. |
