Graduating from college just as the first web pages begin to appear, Fake becomes interested in technology and realizes that the ability to post photos and share them with the world is sorely lacking. She founds Flickr and turns it into a successful community of photographers. The company is soon bought by Yahoo, and Fake is in charge of their social searching research.

She discovered other unmet needs online, and went on to create Hunch, Founder Collective, and Findery, all social media sites that are popular and enhance users’ experiences online. Read about this fascination woman and her goals and dreams of making the internet a better place.
