I envision Pinterest as a catalog of ideas where users can publish and personalize their preferences, making it easier to act on those ideas.

The few people that used Pinterest actually really loved it, so instead of immediately changing the product, I thought maybe I could just find more people like me.

Pinterest is a tool that helps people find their inspiration and get closer to doing things they want to do, whether it's redecorating their home or going on a vacation.

At Pinterest, we continuously evolve our standard interview questions to assess candidate quality and fit for the company culture.

A lot of people in Silicon Valley didn't get Pinterest; they looked at it and said it was visual and not organized in real time, but the fact that it made sense to someone was what really mattered to me.

I often find myself balancing the desire to create content I enjoy with the need to engage with my audience and meet their expectations. I take a lot from the fact that I witnessed many user and creator interviews at Patreon, which helps me understand how users relate to a product. Many people don't know what they want, but their expressed desires indicate underlying problems in user experience that need addressing.

While the core problem Pinterest addresses remains the same, our ambition has expanded significantly over time.

We started to have meetups to connect with people who shared common interests, which is fundamentally what Pinterest is about.

I invested in Pinterest because I see it as a unique social network that appeals to users on a deeper emotional level, differentiating it from other platforms. Pinterest is the best social network for influencing buying behavior and decisions in e-commerce.
