The number of people who have either gotten married or had kids or started dating or just made great friends over Instagram is countless. I think we're the only platform that continues to be successful in bringing people together in real life for these real relationships.

I really value passion for the product above experience.

People have presences, both online and in real life. You can choose to show everything, meaning all sides of you, or you can choose to be selective.

Instagram was created because there was no single place dedicated to giving your mobile photos a place to live and to be seen.

People interact with their phones very differently than they do with their PCs and I think that when you design from the ground up with mobile in mind, you create a very different product than going the other way.

What's awesome about social media is you curate your own experience. That leads to the rise of niche celebrities, who are actually just as popular as mass celebrities, but because there's no incentive for traditional media to invest in them as celebrities, they find a home where people can follow them on Instagram.

Working at a startup to make a lot of money was never a thing, and that's why I decided to just finish up school. That was way more important for me.
