VladTVCraigslist Founder Craig Newmark on Building Craigslist, Giving Away $1BCraig Newmark sits down with VladTV for a candid look at the creation of Craigslist, from his Morristown, New Jersey upbringing and early IBM work on mainframes for General Motors to launching a simple San Francisco email list that became a global classifieds giant.

He also addresses Jim Buckmaster becoming CEO, the eBay equity dispute, Craigslist’s impact on newspapers, and why he stepped away in 2018 to focus on philanthropy. Newmark discusses putting his Craigslist equity into a 501(c...
