INSTAGRAM is a mobile app beloved by millions
and was recently sold for over $1 billion to Facebook.
Surprisingly the founder had ZERO formal programming experience
but instead moonlighted his code learning.

PROOF: I DON’T KNOW IS NOT AN EXCUSE

Instagram's CEO was a Marketer Who Learned to Code by Night

Even though the app itself is fairly simple,
it follows all the commandments of the Fastlane.

Need: People needed a mobile photo-sharing app.
Control: They owned the program and its rights.
Barrier to Entry : Knowledge of programming and one of the first apps of its kind to build a community.
Scale : Mobile E-markets ie. Android and ios. (MILLIONS)
Time: Now the app is built, the owners simply have to make simple revisions.


Additionally the owner managed to convert his paper assets into real cash and valuable pre-IPO Facebook shares. Definitely a Fastlane action.
