We are fascinated by their ambition and natural ability to rise from almost nothing. Their stories will always be an inspiration to move forward no matter what the obstacles are. And when the technologies and solutions they developed can change the world to the core, goosebumps kick in. One of those visionary people is Jon Oringer, Executive Chairman and the Founder of Shutterstock. He knows his way around a guitar and even piloting a helicopter, and we are honored to have him on the stage of Techsylvania 2021.<\/p>\n<p id=\"ff41\" class=\"pw-post-body-paragraph lp lq fo lr b ls lt lu lv lw lx ly lz ma mb mc md me mf mg mh mi mj mk ml mm fh bj\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">Jon Oringer was born in Scarsdale, New York, in 1974. At the age of 5, the visionary entrepreneur made his first steps into the \u201ccobweb\u201d of computer programming and implementing solutions for a better Web World when he started to code simple games. But that wasn\u2019t his only passion. Until attending Stony Brook University in 1993, he was a guitar teacher, he developed photographs, and he even started his first \u201cbusiness\u201d in repairing computers in his parents\u2019 house.<\/p>\n<h1 id=\"8b1a\" class=\"mn mo fo be mp mq mr ms mt mu mv mw mx my mz na nb nc nd ne nf ng nh ni nj nk bj\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">One of the inventors of the pop-up blocker<\/h1>\n<p id=\"37f7\" class=\"pw-post-body-paragraph lp lq fo lr b ls nl lu lv lw nm ly lz ma nn mc md me no mg mh mi np mk ml mm fh bj\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">Jon Oringers\u2019s first sparkles of brilliance appeared in the early \u201990s when he developed one of the first Web\u2019s pop-up blockers. A decade later, in 2003, he founded Shutterstock, a company valued today at $4 billion on the New York Stock Exchange. And yes! Like most \u201cwizards of entrepreneurship,\u201d he made his first steps into the tech world solo. Everything started with the need to find the best suitable images for his marketing email campaign on selling his pop-up blocker. But there weren\u2019t many options to choose from at that time. So he bought a Canon and started shooting photos himself. In the first year, he took over 30,000 pictures, which he then posted on Shutterstock. He founded the company entirely with his savings, and in the beginning, he handled every aspect of the company himself. Three years later, Shutterstock became the \u201clargest subscription-based stock photo agency in the world\u201d, and had a consistent team of photographers, agents, contributors, and many more employees.<\/p>\n<p id=\"0b09\" class=\"pw-post-body-paragraph lp lq fo lr b ls lt lu lv lw lx ly lz ma mb mc md me mf mg mh mi mj mk ml mm fh bj\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">In 2012, Jon Oringer was the most significant tech booster in New York and became the first Silicon Alley tech sector billionaire.<\/p>\n<p id=\"f00d\" class=\"pw-post-body-paragraph lp lq fo lr b ls lt lu lv lw lx ly lz ma mb mc md me mf mg mh mi mj mk ml mm fh bj\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">Today, Shutterstock provides 300 million visual options for marketers, photographers, entrepreneurs, designers, curious people, and many other creative people.
