History of ByteDance

ByteDance was founded in 2012 by a team led by Yiming Zhang and Rubo Liang, who
saw opportunities in the then-nascent mobile internet market, and aspired to
build platforms that could enrich people's lives. The company launched Toutiao,
one of its flagship products, in August 2012. It followed that success with the
launch of Douyin in September 2016. Approximately a year later, ByteDance
accelerated globalization with the launch of its global short video product,
TikTok. It quickly took off in markets like Southeast Asia, signaling a new
opportunity for the company. ByteDance acquired Musical.ly in November 2017 and
subsequently merged it with TikTok. Today, the TikTok platform, which is
available outside of China, has become the leading destination for short-form
mobile videos worldwide.

In support of its mission to Inspire Creativity and Enrich Life, ByteDance has
made it easy and fun for people to connect with, create and consume content.
People are also able to discover and transact with a suite of more than a dozen
products and services such as TikTok, CapCut, TikTok Shop, Lark, Pico and Mobile
Legends: Bang Bang, as well as products and services specific to the China
market, including Toutiao, Douyin, Fanqie, Xigua, Feishu and Douyin E-commerce.

ByteDance has over 150,000 employees based out of nearly 120 cities globally,
including Austin, Barcelona, Beijing, Berlin, Dubai, Dublin, Hong Kong, Jakarta,
London, Los Angeles, New York, Paris, Seattle, Seoul, Shanghai, Shenzhen,
Singapore, and Tokyo.
