ATTENTION FACTORY: THE STORY OF TIKTOK AND CHINA’S BYTEDANCE

In 2012, TikTok’s parent company ByteDance was just a handful of geeks working out of a scrappy four-bedroom apartment in Beijing. Today, it is the world’s fastest-growing tech behemoth worth in excess of $100 billion, unrecognizable from its humble beginnings.
