He lost VK, got pushed out, left Russia, and had to start again with just a small team around him. Old tip for such situation - save money and live quietly. But instead, Pavel Durov built Telegram. Then he went even bigger and bet on TON. In 2020, the SEC hit the project hard, and he had to return $1.2 billion to investors. Most founders don't even get to their second failure... But somehow, Pavel survived that too Today Telegram is not just a text messenger. It is media, communities, payments, mini apps - basically a whole ecosystem. That’s why Durov’s story is so crazy to me. Sometimes losing the thing you built is exactly what pushes you to build something even bigger. 💚https://t.me/wutstartups
