Overview

Unsplash is a curated high-resolution photo platform based in Montréal, Canada, led by CEO Mikael Cho. The product offers free, open, high-resolution photos and is built around a community of 65,000+ creators, 300,000+ photo taggers and curators, and more than 25 million users. The company intends to use the Series A proceeds to continue developing the platform and its business model. According to a company post, "It won’t be a model where photos are going to be paid for with cryptocurrency" and the model will instead leverage Unsplash’s distribution to bring opportunities to contributors while maintaining the community’s open, free-to-use principles. The company recently raised C$7.25m in Series A financing to support these plans.
