Where Was Twitch When He Died
Twitch, the popular live-streaming platform, was headquartered in San Francisco, California, at the time of its founder Justin Kan’s departure from the company. The service continued to operate from its U.S. offices while expanding globally.
Justin Kan, often referred to as “Twitch,” stepped away from the company in 2013, years before its acquisition by Amazon. The platform itself remained based in San Francisco during its early growth phase.
Twitch was acquired by Amazon in 2014 for approximately $970 million. After the deal, operations remained centered in San Francisco, with teams working across the United States and internationally.
