I shot images of everything I could find over the course of a year. I would go all over the world and take pictures. In a day, I could easily take thousands.
Jon Oringer -
Anyone can contribute images, and we sell them to designers and agencies all over the world.

Evolution has been the key tenet of success over the past 13 years, and we have transformed from a single subscription e-commerce image business into a company with a diversified portfolio of content offerings, servicing the needs of businesses of all types and sizes globally.

In 2013, we opened our first international office in London and established a European hub in Berlin.

There's tonnes of room for more people in the tech market, and there are lots of content gaps that have still not yet been tapped into.

We believe PremiumBeat will accelerate our mission to make licensable music accessible to every creator.

When I started Shutterstock, I tried to get people access to big events. It's very hard to keep up, to publish them quick, and to get the right photographers.
Jon Oringer -
Rex has photographers around the world - it's a higher touch business: there are a lot of relationships involved. If you throw an event, there are certain photographers you've worked with before and you want there.

To ensure we are meeting the demands of existing customers while also attracting new users, we remain focused on building cutting-edge technology and introducing new and innovative product offerings.
Jon Oringer -
There aren't enough people out there that are becoming experts in technology as technology moves.
Jon Oringer -
I think that initial independence is very important; that's what being an entrepreneur is all about.
Jon Oringer -
While the scale of our library is certainly attractive to our users, equally important is the quality of the content we provide and our state-of-the-art processing operation that vets every single piece of content that's submitted to ensure only the most suitable content is included.
Jon Oringer -
We look for the scrappy entrepreneur: the kind of person who will get things done without looking to spend money right away.
Jon Oringer -
Rex is 60 years old with 13 million images and 10 million in archive. It's the first time we've had a historic archive to work with, which is super interesting.

Shutterstock has the tech ethos. Rex has the relationships, packaging, and merchandising know-how.
Jon Oringer -
Was I going to start companies outside of Shutterstock or inside? Going public kind of meant I was going to start them inside, and I kind of thought this through and decided that if I was going to do that, I was going to continue to operate Shutterstock like it was an incubator of startups.
Jon Oringer -
Equally important to having the right content is providing the proper tools for the users so they can quickly find the images and videos they need.
Jon Oringer -
As I started college, I started to build software products that I could sell to people over the Web.
Jon Oringer -
By investing in diverse asset types from SD video to HD video to 4K video, we can satisfy the video needs of a wide array of users.
Jon Oringer -
The best thing is to go public only when you're absolutely sure that's the right move for the company. And in order to make sure that is the case, you need to have as much control over the company as possible, which means not giving up control early on.

We recognized early on that media consumption was evolving and customers were looking for moving images to include as part of their advertising campaigns, website designs and corporate presentations.
Jon Oringer -
At Shutterstock, we've been offering tutorials to customers and contributors on our blog for many years. Our audience already viewed us as thought leaders on the latest digital and creative skills; we felt it so natural for us to launch Skillfeed, which is an online marketplace for professional learning.
Jon Oringer -
I like San Francisco, but I don't think I'd want to work in Palo Alto. It seems like a pretty rough commute. In many ways, I think New York has a lot of things the West Coast doesn't have.
Jon Oringer -
I met with several public company CEOs to learn about their experiences of going public and listened to as many earnings calls as I possibly could.
