History of Pinterest

The idea for Pinterest emerged from an earlier app created by Ben Silberman, and Paul Sciarra called Tote, which served as a virtual replacement for paper catalogs.

Tote struggled as a business significantly due to difficulties with mobile payments. Mobile payment technology was not sophisticated enough to enable easy on-the-go transactions, inhibiting users from making many purchases via the app.

Tote users were, however, amassing extensive collections of favorite items and sharing them with other users. The behavior struck a chord with Silberman, and he shifted the company to building Pinterest, which allowed users to create collections of a variety of items and share them with each other.

On June 28, 2022, Pinterest announced that co-founder, CEO, and President, Ben Silberman would transition to the newly created role of Executive Chairman, and online commerce expert Bill Ready will become Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Board of Directors.
