Co-Founder & Advisor, Discord

Search every verified Jason Citron interview, podcast appearance, and on-the-record quote — each transcript cross-checked by AI and human review to confirm speaker identity. In a July 2026 interview, Jason Citron discussed his early career, describing how he stepped away from two stalled businesses and pivoted to create Discord. He recalled discovering at age 13 that he could make his own video games, and noted that his first video game company later became a social platform for gamers. After selling that company, he launched another business that failed to gain traction, which he then re-imagined as a digital space for gamers, leading to the launch of Discord in 2015. Citron also mentioned that there are approximately 4 billion minutes of conversation and 6 billion messages on Discord every day, and that some of the largest servers are dedicated to video games such as Minecraft, Fortnite, and Roblox, as well as other interest groups.
