Founders

Katherine Cook, 14-year-old creator of MyYearbook

Katherine Cook is a young entrepreneur and the owner of the website MyYearbook.com, whose startup currently has 5 million members and has been very successful in its kind. The initial idea for MyYearbook.com came to her mind when she was 14 and the other founder of this social network, David Cook, who was only 16 at the time. The spark was actually a flash that came to them when they saw a typical high school diary in 2005.

They had just started high school and were just looking for a way to get closer to their classmates. The social network was called Myyearbook and from the very beginning, the two letters O in the word Book were shown in the form of a smiley face. This design later became the logo of the network. Myyearbook now has more than 5 million members and 20,000 new users join it every day.
