Last year, he sold Twitch, a live-streaming platform for video game sessions that he co-founded, to Amazon for $970 million — one of Amazon's biggest acquisitions ever. Kan later founded and sold off three other companies: web calendaring service Kiko, video-sharing platform Socialcam, and on-demand errand service Exec. He's now a partner at the incubator Y Combinator.

A Chinese-American and Seattle native who has lived in San Francisco for nine years, Kan told BuzzFeed News he's never encountered racism in the Bay Area — until this past weekend.

"Gook" is a derogatory epithet against Asians that traces back to the early 20th century.
