What Founders Say
Mikayel Khachatryan, Co-Founder and CEO, said: “Initially, a lot of our deals were just selling what we had off the shelf, like our existing library. But then it turned into a lot of custom requests for content and data, and that created new opportunities for creators, and the platform just took off.” 1
