Who is the creator and owner of Netflix?

When it comes to the beginnings of this entertainment service, the foundation is usually attributed to the philanthropist and entrepreneur Wilmot Jr Reed Hastings.




However, you may also hear about a co-founder, named Marc Bernays Randolph, who is a veteran entrepreneur and shareholder.

The reason why Hastings is primarily called is because it is considered the " brain of the company ".

But, in addition to having conceived and shaped the platform, being the creator and owner of Netflix, who is really Reed Hastings?

He was born in the 60s and hails from Boston, Massachusetts. During the years leading up to his university education, he trained to become a naval officer.

But then, he decided to study and graduate in Mathematics and then, a few years later, to earn a master's degree in computer science from Stanford.

This gave him the impetus and knowledge to found his first project in 1991, Pure Software. That it was a tech company.

This himself has specialized in eliminating some computer errors. After it started going public, it was absorbed and merged with Atria.

The idea of ​​what we have within our reach today was to present an alternative to renting movies in VHS format. The goal was therefore to make the service less restrictive with delivery times (which for that format ranged from 24 to 48 hours) and reduce the need to go over and over again on site.

In addition, he tried to make the treatment of customers more friendly and tried to work according to what they preferred or wanted.

This is why I started as a system for the rental of audiovisual material by post, which was initially physically sent by the local postal service and returned in the same way.

Where users had the option to keep the material for up to a week, and not just a single movie, if not, they could even enjoy a full trilogy.

Another peculiarity was that, when returning an order, they had the possibility or the right to request or rent another one.

The idea evolved quickly and gained good public acceptance, so the company, being run by the same creator and owner as Netflix, didn't hesitate to update.
