In its fifth anniversary, the company has reached over 400 million active users, raised more than $700 million in funding from multiple investors worldwide, employed over 1,000 employees, and opened offices in 8 different countries.

  • More than 3 billion photos uploaded to the site each month
  • More than 3.5 million events created each month
