The founder of Zoom is an immigrant from China who came to United States after earlier having been refused 8 times for a visa. Immigrants are our strength. Think about this as we use Zoom during the Coronavirus crisis.Thanks for sharing Linda Bilmes.

Zoom founder Eric Yuan was inspired by a talk Bill Gates gave in the 1990s. He decided to move out of China but his journey to success has not been an easy one.
