## Early life and education

Jawed Karim was born on October 28, 1979, in [Merseburg](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merseburg),
[East Germany](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Germany), to a [Bangladeshi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bangladeshis)
father and a German mother.^([[4]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/jawed-karim#cite_note-4))
His father Naimul Karim ([Bengali](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bengali_language):

and his mother, Christine, is a German biochemistry scientist at the [University of Minnesota](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Minnesota).
^([[5]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/jawed-karim#cite_note-5)) He was the elder 
of two boys.^([[6]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/jawed-karim#cite_note-utodaypro-6))
He crossed the [inner German border](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inner_German_border)
with his family in the early 1980s due to experiencing [racism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism_in_Germany),
^([[7]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/jawed-karim#cite_note-diewelt-7)) growing up
in [Neuss](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuss), [West Germany](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Germany).
^([[note 1]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/jawed-karim#cite_note-10)) Facing racism
there as well,^([[7]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/jawed-karim#cite_note-diewelt-7))
Karim moved with his family to [Saint Paul, Minnesota](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Paul,_Minnesota),
United States, in 1992.^([[8]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/jawed-karim#cite_note-Student_Hits_Jackpot_Again-8))

He graduated from [Saint Paul Central High School](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Paul_Central_High_School)
in 1997,^([[9]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/jawed-karim#cite_note-swm8Dec2006-9))
^([[10]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/jawed-karim#cite_note-11)) and attended the
[University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Illinois_at_Urbana-Champaign).
^([[9]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/jawed-karim#cite_note-swm8Dec2006-9)) He left
campus prior to graduating to become an early employee at [PayPal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PayPal).
He continued his coursework,^([[8]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/jawed-karim#cite_note-Student_Hits_Jackpot_Again-8))
earning his bachelor's degree in [computer science](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_science).
^([[11]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/jawed-karim#cite_note-12)) He subsequently
earned a master's degree in computer science from [Stanford University](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_University).
^([[12]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/jawed-karim#cite_note-13)) In addition to 
his native language German, he speaks English and Bengali.^([[13]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/jawed-karim#cite_note-14))

## Career

"[Me at the zoo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Me_at_the_zoo)", the first video 
on YouTube, was uploaded by Karim on April 23, 2005.

[[

Karim in September 2004

In university, Karim served an Internship at [Silicon Graphics](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_Graphics),
Inc., where he worked on 3D voxel data management for very large data sets for [volume rendering](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_rendering),
including the data for the [Visible Human Project](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visible_Human_Project).
^([[14]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/jawed-karim#cite_note-15)) While working at
PayPal in 2002, he met [Chad Hurley](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chad_Hurley) 
and [Steve Chen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Chen_(YouTube)). Three years
later, in 2005, they founded the video-sharing website YouTube.^([[15]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/jawed-karim#cite_note-usatoday-nov-21-2005-16))
Karim created the first account on YouTube, "jawed", on April 23, 2005 [PDT](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PST_Time_Zone)(
April 24, 2005 [UTC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTC)),^([[16]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/jawed-karim#cite_note-17))
and uploaded the website's first video, "[Me at the zoo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Me_at_the_zoo)",
the same day.^([[17]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/jawed-karim#cite_note-CNN-18))
^([[3]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/jawed-karim#cite_note-MeAtTheZoo-3))

After co-founding the company and developing the YouTube concept and website with
[Chad Hurley](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chad_Hurley) and [Steve Chen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Chen),
Karim enrolled as a graduate student in computer science at Stanford University 
while acting as an adviser to YouTube. When the site was founded in February 2005,
Karim agreed not to be an employee and simply be an informal adviser, and that he
was focusing on his studies.^([[8]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/jawed-karim#cite_note-Student_Hits_Jackpot_Again-8))
As a result, he took a much lower share in the company compared to Hurley and Chen.
^([[18]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/jawed-karim#cite_note-19))

Because of his smaller role in the company, Karim was mostly unknown to the public
as the third founder until [YouTube](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YouTube) was 
acquired by Google in 2006. Despite his lower share in the company, the purchase
was still large enough that he received 137,443 shares of stock, worth about $64
million based on Google's closing stock price at the time.^([[19]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/jawed-karim#cite_note-20))

In October 2006, Karim gave a lecture about the history of YouTube at the [University of Illinois](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Illinois)
annual ACM Conference entitled _YouTube From Concept to Hyper growth_. Karim returned
again to the [University of Illinois](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Illinois_Chicago)
in May 2008 as the 136th and youngest commencement speaker in the school's history.
^([[20]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/jawed-karim#cite_note-21))^([[21]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/jawed-karim#cite_note-22))

## Investments

In March 2008, Karim launched a venture fund called Youniversity Ventures (now known
as YVentures) with partners [Keith Rabois](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keith_Rabois)
and [Kevin Hartz](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Hartz).^([[22]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/jawed-karim#cite_note-23))
Karim is one of [Airbnb](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbnb)'s first investors,
investing in the company's initial [seed round](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seed_money)
in April 2009.^([[23]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/jawed-karim#cite_note-Gallagher2017-24))
YVentures has also invested in [Palantir](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palantir_Technologies),
[Reddit](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reddit) and [Eventbrite](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eventbrite).
^([[24]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/jawed-karim#cite_note-25))

## Responses to YouTube

Occasionally, Karim has updated the video description of "[Me at the zoo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Me_at_the_zoo)"
to criticize decisions made by YouTube.

On November 6, 2013, YouTube began requiring that commenting on its videos be done
via a [Google+](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google+) account, a move that was 
widely opposed by the YouTube community. An online petition to revert the change
garnered over 240,000 signatures.^([[25]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/jawed-karim#cite_note-26))

In response to Google requiring YouTube members to use Google+ for its comment system,
Karim wrote on his YouTube account, "why the fuck do i need a Google+ account to
comment on a video?", and updated the video description on his first video titled"
Me at the zoo" to "I can't comment here anymore, since i don't want a Google+ account".
^([[26]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/jawed-karim#cite_note-27))

In response to pressure from the YouTube community, [Google](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google)
publicly apologized for forcing Google+ users to use their real names, which was
one of the reasons the Google+ integration was unpopular with YouTube users.^([[27]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/jawed-karim#cite_note-28))
Google subsequently dropped its Google+ requirement across all products, beginning
with YouTube.^([[28]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/jawed-karim#cite_note-29)) Google
announced in October 2018 its intention to permanently shut down Google+, as it 
had failed to achieve broad consumer or developer adoption,^([[29]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/jawed-karim#cite_note-30))
^([[30]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/jawed-karim#cite_note-31)) and because of 
a vulnerability that exposed 500,000 users' data.^([[31]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/jawed-karim#cite_note-32))
^([[32]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/jawed-karim#cite_note-33)) Google+ was closed
for personal accounts on April 2, 2019.^([[33]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/jawed-karim#cite_note-34))

In November 2021, Jawed updated the "Me at the zoo" video description to include"
When every YouTuber agrees that removing dislikes is a stupid idea, it probably 
is. Try again, YouTube🤦‍♂️."^([[34]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/jawed-karim#cite_note-35))
A few days later, Karim updated the description again to a more detailed condemnation
of YouTube's decision.^([[35]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/jawed-karim#cite_note-36))
In February 2025, Jawed updated the "Me at the zoo" video's description to refer
to the danger of [microplastics](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microplastics) to
the brain.^([[36]](https://kihulane.eu/glossary/jawed-karim#cite_note-37))
