YouTube began when PayPal employees started to create a video-sharing website on which users could upload, share, and view videos. The Internet domain name "youtube.com" was activated on February 14, 2005. ==Founding (2005)==
YouTube was founded by Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim, who were all early employees of PayPal. Prior to PayPal, Hurley studied design at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Chen and Karim studied computer science together at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.〔(''YouTube Founders Steve Chen, Chad Hurley, and Jawed Karim'' ), Patricia Wooster, LernerClassroom, 2014, 32 pages, ISBN 978-1-4677-2457-9.〕 YouTube's early headquarters were situated above a pizzeria and Japanese restaurant in San Mateo, California. The domain name "YouTube.com" was activated on February 14, 2005, and the website was developed over the subsequent months. The creators offered the public a preview of the site in May 2005, six months before YouTube made its official debut. Like many technology startups, YouTube was started as an angel-funded enterprise from a makeshift office in a garage. In November 2005, venture firm Sequoia Capital invested an initial $3.5 million; additionally, Roelof Botha, partner of the firm and former CFO of PayPal, joined the YouTube board of directors. In April 2006, Sequoia and Artis Capital Management put an additional $8 million into the company, which had experienced hugely popular growth within its first few months.〔(Sequoia invests 11.5 million total in YouTube ). Retrieved July 7, 2006. 〕 The first YouTube video was titled ''Me at the zoo'', and shows co-founder Jawed Karim at the San Diego Zoo. The video was uploaded on April 23, 2005, and can still be viewed on the site.
