Cofounder Kayvon Beykpour on how the live-streaming service came to be, why it sold itself to Twitter—and where it’s going.
It’s just before 11 a.m. on a Tuesday morning in San Francisco. At the offices of live video-streaming app Periscope—located in an alley next door to a combo café/laundromat/arcade—cofounder Kayvon Beykpour and engineer Aaron Wasserman are huddled in a conference room, preparing to do a Periscope about Periscope. More specifically, it will be about the fact that Twitter’s iOS app has the new ability to display live Periscope streams and replays right alongside tweets, photos, and other elements.
