Founder Jon Oringer Reflects on 10 Years of Shutterstock [VIDEO]
Mar 15, 2013
In 2003, Shutterstock was just a place for founder Jon Oringer to sell his photography. From a few thousand of his own images, the site has grown to over 24 million stock photos that businesses and publishers can license. And that’s all without venture funding.
During that time, Shutterstock also added a footage section, which now contains almost 1 million stock videos. The company went public on the New York Stock Exchange in 2012, and Oringer continues as CEO – a role he has now held for 10 years.
Oringer was kind enough to visit our SXSW Startup Celebration sponsored by CEA and .CO. He explains how Shutterstock deals with competition and privacy, where the company is headed, and how to be a better entrepreneur. Here’s the video.
