About Me

Kevin Systrom launched photo-sharing mobile phone app Instagram in 2010 with Mike Krieger. Facebook bought Instagram for $1 billion in cash and stock in 2012, and Systrom stayed on to continue running it. He left Facebook in 2018. Systrom, who owned 40% of Instagram going into the deal, mostly got Facebook stock. Under Systrom as CEO, Instagram became a fast growing app, with roughly 1 billion monthly users. In 2021, Systrom became a backer and director of the Ajax I SPAC, which took online car marketplace Cazoo public a year later. Systrom and Krieger launched a personalized news feed app, Artifact, in 2023, which was acquired by Yahoo in 2024.
