I really value passion for the product above experience.

There's real beauty in pushing yourself to expose the real you in more ways.

I've always been into taking my photos, cropping them square, putting them through a filter in Photoshop.

Having a company that's successful is a wonderful platform to do new things. You don't have to raise money for it; you can take profits from the company and pump them into new business.

People always told me photos have been done. My feeling was, these people are wrong.

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 love connecting people, creating communities. As a kid, creation was something that I always loved.
