VSCO offers mobile-first photo tools (notably the VSCOcam app) and publishing products such as VSCO Grid and VSCO Journal, plus online and in-app stores for creators. Its apps provide filters and precision editing that aim to bridge professional camera capabilities and smartphone photography. The company emphasizes curation over social metrics, with a minimalist Grid that hides follower counts and comments. Prior to this financing VSCO was bootstrapping profitably, had nearly 50 employees, and served “millions” of users worldwide. More than one billion images have been created using VSCO’s tools to date. The company plans to build more tools and services, expand the team, and scale infrastructure for its largely international community.
