A biography for Kevin Systromhasn’t been written yet.
“ 'אינסטגרם' בהחלט הפכה למקור בידור חדש עבור אנשים יום אחר יום.”
“הדפוס עשה משהו ממש גדול עבור העולם כשכולם יכלו לקבל ספרים לידיהם ולקרוא.”
“'Instagram' is an app that only took 8 weeks to build and ship but was a product of over a year of work.”
“Instagram is a media company. I think we're about visual media.”
“I don't foresee a future where people don't have some sort of phone that's like a computer. I don't foresee a future where those phones don't have cameras in them. That spells a future where smartphones are the status quo. You have to ask yourself how you allow people to communicate what's in their lives.”
“I grew up as a photo nut. Every Christmas I would get a new camera. It's a huge part of my life.”
“Brands, musicians, and public figures were among the first to embrace video on 'Instagram', and we've been impressed with how brands have extended their reach with video ads.”
“I think Instagram at its best is where you feel like you're getting the most authentic version of the person on the other side of the camera. Someone who does this wonderfully well is Lena Dunham.”
“I've always been into taking my photos, cropping them square, putting them through a filter in Photoshop.”
“I care deeply about craft: the quality of how something is made and the experience it enables.”
“The printing press did something really big for the world when everyone could get books in their hands and read.”
“People don't work in a dotcom because they have to. There are many professions that don't require that sort of time. But people sign up because they want to make world-changing differences, to build something that affects millions of people.”
“It's funny: I was a photographer before I was a programmer.”
“Every startup should address a real and demonstrated need in the world - if you build a solution to a problem lots of people have, it's so easy to sell your product to the world.”
“Great products sell themselves.”
“A photo app is a utility. It's like comparing 'Twitter' to Microsoft Word. If you want to be an author, you're not always going to constrain yourself to 140 characters.”
“You can build a filter app get people really excited, but the way to keep them is to provide long-term value. Long-term value is, in fact, being its own network.”
“It's wonderful when you pair entrepreneurs together because they can share experiences and in some ways push each other to build better products going forward.”
“Calling 'Instagram' a photo-sharing app is like calling a newspaper a letter-sharing book, or a Mozart grand era symphony a series of notes. 'Instagram' is less about the medium and more about the network.”
“It turns out that no undergrad class prepares you to start a startup - you learn most of it as you do it.”
