Rakesh Solomon is stepping down as CEO of Fizz, the anonymous social media platform.

Solomon started the app with his Stanford classmate Ashton Cofer before they dropped out to work on the app full-time.

Fizz has raised over $40 million and spread to 250 college campuses, where students have posted on the platform about 20 million times.

“What Rakesh taught me most was how to have fun while you’re doing it, because Rakesh has never stopped having fun to this day , after a dozen companies and all he’s done in his career,” Solomon said. “He has an eerily similar energy to me, given how many years apart we are, but we both just love to love what we’re doing, and want to continue loving what we’re doing.”.
