Wayne Chang (born August 3, 1983) is an American entrepreneur, angel investor, film producer, and philanthropist. He is best known for founding Crashlytics, a startup acquired by Twitter in 2013. He is also known for creating a filesharing network called i2hub, making various seed investments, and his lawsuit against the Winklevoss brothers.

Early life

Chang was born in Taipei, Taiwan, and grew up extremely poor on a farm in rural Taiwan. He immigrated to the United States at age 6, still short of cash. He wrote his first software program on the Apple IIe at age 7. While attending a high school in Haverhill, Massachusetts, he was involved with Napster, the first peer-to-peer filesharing platform. In 2005, Newsweek profiled Chang for his abilities in technology. [2] [3]

Education

Chang attended University of Massachusetts Amherst for his undergraduate degree. As a student, he hacked into the computer systems and obtained the passwords of everyone on campus. After bypassing the encryption methods, the Office of Information Technology declined to press charges if Chang would share his methods. Chang also established i2hub, during his time at the university. To pursue his startup passions, he dropped out of college. [4]

In 2016, Chang was awarded an honorary doctorate by University of Massachusetts Amherst. He was also the featured Commencement Speaker for the 2016 graduating class.

Digits

Chang co-founded Digits with previous Crashlytics co-founder Jeff Seibert in 2018. Digits is developing advanced, real-time technology for businesses. In November 2019, Digits announced a $10.5 million Series A from Benchmark and 72 angels including Aaron Levie, Ali Rowghani, Anthony Noto, April Underwood, Brian Lee (entrepreneur), David Cancel, Dick Costolo, Jeff Orlowski, Jordan Fliegel, Justin Kan, Katie Jacobs Stanton, Katrina Lake, Kimber Lockhart, Michelle Dipp, Nat Friedman, and Sean Christie. [5] In April 2020 Digits announced it had raised $22 million Series B from GV and Benchmark.

In October 2020, Embroker "sought out startups across over 40 industries around the world to rank the fastest-growing companies that we believe will fundamentally transform our society." It ranked Digits #6 on its top 200 startups. [6]

Crashlytics

Chang co-founded Crashlytics, a mobile company building crash reporting for iOS and Android, with Jeff Seibert in 2011. Crashlytics raised $1 million from venture capitalists Flybridge Capital Partners and Baseline Ventures as well as individual angel investors David Chang, Lars Albright, Jennifer Lum, Peter Wernau, Roy Rodenstein, Chris Sheehan, Ty Danco, Joe Caruso, and others. [7] [8] [9] In April 2012, Crashlytics raised another $5 million from Flybridge Capital Partners and Baseline Ventures. [10]

Crashlytics has been installed on over 2.9 billion active devices and is the #1 most installed SDK for performance. Its Answers product became #1 in mobile analytics—beating out Google Analytics. [11]

In January 2013, Twitter acquired Crashlytics for over $100 million. Most of the package was in stock vesting over four years with an upfront payment of $38.2 million in common Twitter stock. [12]

In January 2017, Google acquired Crashlytics from Twitter. [13] [14] [15]

i2hub

Chang created i2hub in his dorm room at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. According to Chang, he started i2hub with the idea that college students should have an avenue to interact with each other. He had started it in February 2003 for a month but shut it down due to its popularity. He then restarted it in March 2004, when he was better prepared for the traffic. [2]

Facebook also had just launched in February 2004, a month before i2hub. Both i2hub and Facebook were gaining attention from the press. In August 2004, Mark Zuckerberg, Andrew McCollum, Adam D'Angelo, and Sean Parker of Facebook launched a competing peer-to-peer file sharing service called Wirehog. [16] [17] Traction was low compared to i2hub, and Facebook ultimately shut it down.

As users flocked to the service, it attracted the attention of ConnectU and founders Cameron Winklevoss, Tyler Winklevoss, and Divya Narendra. A partnership allegedly formed between i2hub and ConnectU. The partnership, called The Winklevoss Chang Group, jointly advertised their properties through bus advertisements as well as press releases. i2hub integrated its popular software with ConnectU's website, as part of the partnership. The team also jointly launched several projects and initiatives. [18] [19]

Due to legal pressure, on November 14, 2005, i2hub was shut down. [20] [21] [22]

Facebook, ConnectU, and Winklevoss lawsuits

On December 21, 2009, Wayne Chang and The i2hub Organization launched a lawsuit against ConnectU and its founders, seeking 50% of the settlement. The complaint says, "The Winklevosses and Howard Winklevoss filed [a] patent application, U.S. Patent Application No. 20060212395, on or around March 15, 2005, but did not list Chang as a co-inventor." It also states, "Through this litigation, Chang asserts his ownership interest in The Winklevoss Chang Group and ConnectU, including the settlement proceeds." [19] Lee Gesmer of the firm Gesmer Updegrove posted the detailed 33-page complaint online. [18] [23]

On May 13, 2011, it was reported that Judge Peter Lauriat made a ruling against the Winklevosses. Chang's case against them could proceed. The Winklevosses had argued that the court lacks jurisdiction because the settlement with Facebook has not been distributed and therefore Chang hasn't suffered any injury. Judge Lauriat wrote, "The flaw in this argument is that defendants appear to conflate loss of the settlement proceed with loss of rights. Chang alleges that he has received nothing in return for the substantial benefits he provided to ConnectU, including the value of his work, as well as i2hub's users and goodwill." Lauriat also wrote that, although Chang's claims to the settlement are "too speculative to confer standing, his claims with respect to an ownership in ConnectU are not. They constitute an injury separate and distinct from his possible share of the settlement proceeds. The court concludes that Chang has pled sufficient facts to confer standing with respect to his claims against the Winklevoss defendants." [24] [25] [26] [27] [28] [29]

ConnectU sued Facebook in early 2004. [30] Facebook countersued in regards to the team's Social Butterfly project, and named among the defendants ConnectU, Cameron Winklevoss, Tyler Winklevoss, Divya Narendra, and Wayne Chang. [31] A settlement was reached where Facebook acquired ConnectU for 1,253,326 shares of Facebook stock and an additional $20 million in cash. [32] [33]

In 2014, Superior Court Judge Thomas P. Billings, going against the other judges on the state's Business Litigation Session bench, dismissed both Chang's "options claims" and "partnership claims". Chang's lawyer, Alan D. Rose Jr., said "we respectfully disagree with the decision and will appeal." [34] [35]

Other Startups

Besides founding his own startups, Chang has been involved in dozens of companies in different capacities including angel investors, board members, or advisors. These companies include JetSmarter, Draftkings, Gusto, Dropbox, SoFi, Planet Labs, AirHelp, LovePop, Muzik, OnSwipe, Triggerfox, Kite, Pistol Lake, Blispay, Homemade, Notarize, Reaction Housing, NS1, ValiMail, Stream, NextCaller, Adored, Slash Keyboard, SURKUS, Tablelist, Boomset, Opendoor, Marble Robotics, and Uplevel Security.

Chasing Coral

Chang is also an Associate Producer for award-winning climate change documentary Chasing Coral, [37] which won an award at Sundance Film Festival in 2017. [38] [39] Netflix announced it had acquired the film at the festival and it is now a Netflix Original. It debuted on Netflix in July 2017. [40] [41] [42] [43] Movie review site Rotten Tomatoes gives it a 100% rating. [44]

Frame by Frame

Prior to Chasing Coral, Chang is also an Associate Producer for award-winning documentary Frame by Frame. [45] It premiered at SXSW in 2015 and subsequently went on to win many awards. The Hollywood Reporter called Frame by Frame "a work of profound immediacy, in sync with the photographers' commitment and hope" [46] and BBC Culture proclaimed "the film features photographers passionate about telling stories of the true identity of Afghanistan – whether they are newsworthy or not." [47] In 2016, Time, Inc acquired the documentary. It has a 92% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. [48]
