Timeline
Justin Kan (born July 16, 1983) is an American internet entrepreneur and investor.
He is the co-founder of live video platforms Justin.tv and Twitch, as well as the mobile social video application Socialcam.
He is also the cofounder and former CEO of law-tech company Atrium.
In 2024, Kan announced that he had founded Stash, a payment and e-commerce platform for video game developers.
He was formerly a partner at Silicon Valley incubator Y Combinator.
His attempt to broadcast his entire life at Justin.tv, which he named after himself, popularized the term "lifecasting".
Kan also started a Reddit-style electronic music discovery platform, The Drop.
Kan was a member of the first batch of YC-funded startups in 2005 for Kiko Calendar, and was funded by YC again for Justin.tv and Exec.
In 2007, Justin Kan and partners Emmett Shear, Michael Seibel and Kyle Vogt started Justin.tv, a 24–7 live video feed of Kan's life, broadcast via a webcam attached to his head.
Kan was 23 years old at the time.
Kan's "lifecasting" lasted about eight months.
Kan's concept attracted media attention, and resulting interviews with him included one by Ann Curry on the Today Show.
Viewers accompanied Kan as he walked the streets of San Francisco, sometimes involved in both pre-planned events (trapeze lesson, dance lesson) and spontaneous situations (being invited into the local Scientology center by a sidewalk recruiter).
Afterward, the company transitioned to providing a live video platform so anyone could publish a live video stream.
Justin.tv, the platform, launched in 2007 and was one of the largest live video platforms in the world with more than 30 million unique users every month.
After Justin.tv launched in 2007, the site quickly began building subject-specific content categories like Social, Tech, Sports, Entertainment, News & Events, Gaming and others.
Gaming, in particular, grew very fast and became the most popular content on the site.
The company then decided to spin off the gaming content under a separate brand at a separate site.
They named it TwitchTV, inspired by the term twitch gameplay.
It launched officially in public beta on June 6, 2011.
Socialcam launched March 7, 2011, was bought by Autodesk July 17, 2012 for $60 million and was ended by Autodesk October 28, 2015.
