What if your childhood hobby made you a billionaire?
Meet Ben Silbermann, a quiet kid from Iowa who loved collecting bugs — not to kill them, but to organize them. That obsession led him to create Pinterest in 2010 — a platform that turned visual inspiration into a $25 billion business.
Unlike startups that raise millions and run big campaigns, Pinterest grew organically. No flashy ads, no viral stunts — just people saving ideas. Moms, designers, chefs, and entrepreneurs — all finding inspiration in pins. And guess what? Every pin meant buying intent.
Today, Pinterest drives more traffic to e-commerce sites than Twitter or Snapchat. Brands use it to target hyper-specific interests, and for every $1 spent, they often make $4 in return. Pinterest isn't just a mood board app — it’s a marketing machine.
