Women. Yes, we’re the real women, and this is our Pinterest.
Three years after its founding, Pinterest is not only thriving, but beating lots of other popular Internet companies where it counts. The site just raised $225 million at a valuation of $3.8 billion — making it worth fifteen times as much as the Washington Post, twice as much as the New York Times, and more than Spotify, as of its last closed funding round. So why was I until recently — and why do others still seem to be — unwilling to take Pinterest as seriously as those businesses?
-Are you part of the 20 percent of Internet-using women who use Pinterest? If so, it’s time to start taking you seriously.
