- Here's a look at Kroll's career.
Colin Kroll, the cofounder of HQ Trivia and Vine, died on Sunday. He was 34.
Kroll was the CEO of viral quiz app HQ Trivia up until his death on Dec. 16, and helped create popular video sharing app Vine, which was sold to Twitter in 2012.
Kroll majored in computer science and worked at Yahoo and travel site JetSetter before striking out on his own. While he's had success in the tech world, Kroll also faced complaints of an aggressive management style and inappropriate behavior toward women in recent years.
Hours after reports of Kroll's death, HQ posted on Twitter: "We learned today of the passing of our friend and founder, Colin Kroll, and it's with deep sadness that we say goodbye."
Here's how Kroll got his start and helped build two of the most viral apps of the last decade.
