From photography to becoming a self-made billionaire
1 min read
Jon is the founder of Shutterstock was a professional software developer and an amateur photographer just like many others. However, what set him apart was that he applied himself! He combined this set of skills and used 30,000 photos from his personal photo library to start a stock photo service. Indeed, a very crude and simple #idea, but a well-executed one!!
And this has made Jon’s company worth about $2 billion today! Not just his capital efficiency but also his mental efficiency paid off well and turned him into a truly self-made #billionaire.
What are your thoughts on Jon’s story of building Shutterstock?
