Quora belongs to no single man.
Two men started it, Adam D'Angelo and Charlie Cheever.
They had seen the inside of Facebook -- Where D'Angelo was the first to hold the chief technology officer's chair.
They left that world in 2009.
To build something of their own.
A place where a question could find a true answer. The company was born from that idea.
But it was raised on other people's money -- Investors, the kind who place bets in Silicon Valley - Bought pieces of it to keep the thing growing.
Cheever stepped away from the daily running of the place in 2012.
Leaving D'Angelo as the man in charge, the CEO. So he runs it. Owns a large piece of it - But he does not own it all.
The ownership is spread thin among the people who paid for its creation and growth over many years.
