Reddit was founded by University of Virginia roommates Steve Huffman and Alexis Ohanian in June 2005, who were joined by Aaron Swartz that November.

I think it’s reasonable to say that if you weren’t there for the original ideation, you’re not a founder. Doesn’t mean Aaron wasn’t an amazing person.
